Barely 15 000 years old, the St. Lawrence River is the world's youngest seaway!
When out in the middle of the river, you feel you are
at sea, and when close to shore, the physical traces
of this waterway's birth and evolution can be read on its rocky shoreline. The
St. Lawrence originates in the Great Lakes, but the waters from several other
rivers that flow into the seaway contribute to its powerful current. Learn about
the fascinating natural phenomena that create
the magic of the St. Lawrence River.
The St. Lawrence River originates from the Great Lakes. As it flows towards the
Atlantic, it increases in size due to the runoff from many streams and rivers
in Quebec. The river flows through a variety of landscapes: flatlands and marshes,
beaches and sand dunes, rocky shorelines and reefs, each with its own species
of plants and animals. Humans have founded cities and villages along the St. Lawrence
for millennia. Unfortunately, humans and beautiful natural environments do not
always make the best neighbours…
