Great Lakes, Great Rivers, Great Trail

The Waterfront Trail has been an instrumental part of the Great Lakes regeneration. Along it you will find a 1400 km celebration of nature and culture - where peaceful countryside, small towns and big cities are linked to bring our Great Lakes to this province's residents and visitors, alike. Enjoy it for a day. Or make it a summer-long adventure. The Waterfront Trail will let you discover the Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River waterfront...and what it can mean to you.

Improvements coming to the Thousand Islands Parkway
(Gananoque and Brockville)

Congratulations to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada. They announced an investment of close to $1 million to make much needed improvements to the Thousand Island Bikeway, which has been part of the Waterfront Trail since 2005. The Waterfront Regeneration Trust has been one of several voices urging for senior government investment over the years.
