NORTH of the St Lawrence River and Great Lakes is Canada, the world's second largest country stretching northward well into the Arctic. Almost all of Canada's population live close to the relatively mild southern border, making for a relatively easy itinerary following the St Lawrence River downstream from Niagara Falls. The eastern state of Quebec is the largest French speaking area outside of France.
This journey begins by crossing Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls into Canada. After exploring the falls, we head around Lake Ontario into Toronto, Canada's largest city. From there we continue around the lake to where it drains into the St Lawrence River at the well named 1000 Islands. Heading downstream, we divert northward to the capital City Ottawa before venturing onto Montreal. From there we return to the river and follow it to its mouth at the quaint Quebec City. From there we cross the river and head back into the United States towards Boston. |
