In the heart of the 1000 Islands

Sustainability and Biodiversity Thousand Islands National Park works to promote sustainable recreation while protecting the land and wildlife that make the area a popular tourist destination. The park is located in an area of rich biodiversity and is home to many species at risk.

The Park contains 20 islands and several ecologically important mainland properties. It is a key regional partner in the Frontenac Arch UNESCO Biosphere Reserve (designated by the United Nations in 2002)

70, 000 Visitors each year enjoy: KayakingCanoeing CampingHiking Bird WatchingBoating SailingSwimming ExploringSCUBA Diving FishingGeocaching KitesurfingSnowshoeing CyclingCastle Tours School ProgramsInterpretive Presentations

NEW – oTENTik camping! A cross between a tent and a rustic cabin, Parks Canada oTENTik is a relaxing, easier way to experience camping. The oTENTik accommodations on park islands provide an ideal base camp and private retreat for paddlers exploring the Thousand Islands. There are also 5 oTENTik cabins at the Mallorytown Landing mainland Visitor area.

Protected Species Peregrine Falcon, Threatened Pitch Pine, Threatened Stinkpot Turtle, Threatened Eastern Rat Snake, Threatened Deerberry, Threatened American Ginseng, Endangered King Rail, Endangered Northern Bobwhite, Endangered

Threats to the Park Many of the unique species in the park are threatened by: Habitat Fragmentation/Urbanization Exotic Species Hunting Pollution In order to ensure that these threats are addressed and these species are protected, Thousand Islands Park must maintain its current funding and conservation/ monitoring programs.

Established in 1904 as the first Canadian national park east of the Rockies. Whether you are a boater, paddler, birdwatcher, SCUBA enthusiast, camper or nature lover… The unique ecosystem of the park along with its many outdoor activities should be preserved as a legacy for the next century and beyond.

What does the fox say? Save Thousand Islands Park! … I live there!!!
