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.
Things are splishing and splashing in the St. Lawrence River, whose waters are
fresh until a little past Île d’Orléans, located near Quebec
City. But the ocean's tides and currents have their grain of salt to add. The
river gradually transforms into a sea the more you travel east. The beautiful
islands in the St. Lawrence, buffeted by wind and storm, weave an enchanting spell
that beckons visitors to explore them in order to unravel their many mysteries.
