Tips from the Community
The Long Sault Parkway hops across 11 islands for more than 10 kilometres through the Saint Lawrence River, but here’s the twist: these islands are the high ground left behind when construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway flooded former riverside communities in 1958. The Parkway’s islands were deliberately linked after the flooding, which makes the whole place feel a bit like an outdoor history map. Today, beaches, trails, and picnic spots sit above a partly submerged landscape, including an old canal lock that scuba divers can still explore underwater.

Woodlands Beach is a quiet riverside stop along the Long Sault Parkway, with a sandy shoreline, calm Saint Lawrence views, and plenty of space to picnic or relax by the water. Swimming and canoe/kayak access make it an easy place to turn a walk or ride into a proper summer pause.

Mille Roches Beach is a broad sandy pause along the Long Sault Parkway, perfect for swimming, picnicking, or simply stretching out beside the Saint Lawrence. Look beyond the beach, and there’s a remarkable story under the water: the Parkway’s islands are linked to the Lost Villages, flooded during the construction of the Saint Lawrence Seaway in the 1950s.
