Reports of Ticks on the Long Sault Parkway are coming in. Please ensure that customary precautions are taken, especially with children.

The Long Sault Parkway was unique in its creation. It is a series of 11 islands that were created from high points of land left after the flooding of the St. Lawrence River during the construction of the Seaway in the 1950's. In fact several villages once stood where the river now lies, a fascinating story captured at the Lost Villages display along the Parkway. There is a charge during the summer season to enter the Long Sault Parkway
DICKINSON ISLAND: to commemorate the community of Dickinson’s Landing which took its name from Barnabus Dickinson, proprietor of a stage-coach line carrying passengers and mail between Montreal and Kingston. Dickinson’s Landing was a transfer point for passengers and cargo from the steamers.
The cache is an ammo can, filled with SWAG. Very suitable for family outings, fun for the kids. Parking is across the Parkway, so care when crossing. Great view of the mainland. Remember that before the seaway was constructed, this island was part of the mainland. Have fun!
Congrats to StellaQ for the FTF - Thanks for coming by
