Frontenac Arch Paddling Association
The Thousand Islands watershed is where lakes, rivers and streams flow from the rugged granite landscape of the Frontenac Arch into the St. Lawrence River in the Thousand Islands. Our paddle routes explore a marvelously scenic region of the Gananoque River, and the lakes and streams that extend its watercourse. The route winds through the heart of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve
The Gananoque River portion of the Thousand Islands watershed, along with the routes through the Islands themselves, are the first of several paddle routes that will be developed for this region. In the future, additions will be made to assist exploration of Charleston Lake and Wiltse Creek, Morton Creek to the Cataraqui River, and connections to Frontenac Provincial Park and area waterways.
