The 1000 Islands Parkway recreational trail is a traffic-free, fully paved, delightful ride for cyclists to enjoy the stunning water and island views along the St. Lawrence River.

More experienced cyclists willing to go the full distance can add an extra 13km of road riding into Brockville.

Pull into Ivy Lea or Rockport for panoramic views, coffee, ice creams and more. Enjoy the parkland settings, beaches, swimming and picnic at Mallorytown Landing, part of the Thousand Islands National Park, or Brown’s Bay, near where the trails eastern terminus.

Stay a night or two, as there is plenty to see and do. From bike tours, to boat tours, diving, hiking and kayaking, all great options to experience the beautiful 1000 Islands.
