French explorers first discovered the area of the 1000 Islands in the mid-1500s.
An archipelago of 1864 picturesque islands stretches for about 80 kilometres from where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River's source and is shared by Canada and the United States as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The Great Canadian Shield, which includes the majority of these islands, was declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2002. Everyone who visits the area can appreciate the natural splendour of the Thousand Islands.
