If you love the outdoors and want to zip it up a bit this summer, bring your family to our new Skywood Eco Adventure Park. It is Ontario’s largest zipline and aerial adventure experience, located in the heart of the 1000 Islands. And we have a course to suit all skill levels – even the little ones. Afterwards, you can relax and sink your toes into the warm sand at one of our beaches. Later, finish your day sharing stories around a campfire, under the starry skies at one of our campgrounds. There’s nothing like it for building family memories.
If you feel like you really need to get away from it all, you can step waaay back in time at Upper Canada Village or Fort Henry National Historic Site. You can dress up like a pioneer from the 1860s, fire a cannon or learn to march as an 1860s British military recruit. Both sites offer tons of hands-on experiences, interesting costumed interpreters and memories to last a lifetime. Come visit us this summer at Parks of the St. Lawrence. My family loves it, and yours will too.

Pails and shovels are essential for the little ones but kayaks and canoes are pretty cool ways for Mom and Dad to join in on the fun. The tranquil waters and scenic views make for some picture perfect paddling at our beaches.
the lost Villages Along the Long Sault Parkway you’ll find 11 islands connected by causeways and bridges, all the former hilltops of the Lost Villages.

Known for the best greens in Ontario, this 6,922 yards, 18 holes, championship golf course is a great course to sink a few putts this summer.
Getting around the golf course, just got a “hole” lot more exciting! We have the most golfboards in Ontario, so hop on and surf our turf.

They’ll giggle as they chase baby pigs and watch with fascination as the cabinet maker and quilters show off their talents. Of course, the only way to end a good day in 1860, is with homemade fudge.
