A Thousand Little Islands

June 17th 2011

In Ontario, we strive to protect the natural, cultural and recreational environments that make up about 10% of the province’s surface - or the size of Nova Scotia! 

In the spirit of Parks Canada’s 100 year celebrations, we at Langford & Company want to recognize the St. Lawrence Islands National Park. The archipelago of islands, known as Thousand Islands, straddle the US-Canada border in the Saint Lawrence River. We love the thought of a thousand little scattered islands when you consider that an island must be above water level all year round, have an area larger than 1 square foot and support at least one living tree. What a stoic measure of solitude!

Our favorite way to explore is by canoe, which gets you to all the corners of the sprawling space. Of course, to do this over the course of a few days means to camp in the great outdoors.

Camping is about finding the right measure of the rugged nature with the comforts of indoors. Whether you’ll find nature’s bliss in a tent or a cabin (or with a butler!) the choice is yours.

Ontario’s parks offer uncompromising beauty, adventure and relaxation.
