Long Sault Parkway

Long Sault Parkway

The Long Sault Parkway runs from Long Sault to a point just east of Ingleside in Ontario. Constructed as a road connecting the islands in Lake St. Lawrence as part of the Long Sault Provincial Park, it was built partly over a former alignment of Highway 2 which was flooded in 1958 as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway project. (See also The Lost Villages.)

The park is a major tourist attraction and source of revenue for the region, especially during the summer months when tourists, most notably from the Montreal region flock to the parkway for its beaches, camping, fishing, and boating opportunities.

Besides the provincial park, a substantial section of the island is home to significant real estate. One of the more notable residents is Doug Carpenter, former NHL coach of the New Jersey Devils (1984-1988) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (1989-1991).
