Islands

St. Lawrence Islands National Park includes more than 20 island properties in the St. Lawrence River between Kingston and Brockville. Both power and sailboaters use the park islands as stopping off points for a day or night enroute down or up the St. Lawrence River. Cedar Island, off Kingston, is a stopover for boaters sailing into Lake Ontario or as starting point for cruising up the Rideau Canal. The park does not provide transportation to the islands.

Mallorytown Landing

The Visitor Centre features a new kids activity area, a discovery touch table, a theatre, and a travelling exhibit about Canada's biodiversity. Interpretive programs on topics ranging from wind power to turtles are offered regularly.

Facilities at Mallorytown Landing also include a playground, picnic area, historic gunboat exhibit, telephone, parking for vehicles and trailers, boat launch, overnight docking, and a 1.7 km walking trail (800m of which is barrier-free). The trail travels through woodland and wetland habitats and transects the property, a Loyalist farm that was cultivated until 1956.
