세인트 로렌스 카운티 주변 최고의 가족 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

세인트로렌스강은 북미에서 미시시피강 다음으로 두 번째로 큰 유량을 자랑합니다. 또한 오대호의 주요 배출구로, 온타리오호에서 대서양까지 1,197킬로미터를 흐릅니다. 카니엔케하카 네이션에게는 카니아타로와넨네(큰 수로)로, 미크마크족에게는 막토고에크(바다로 가는 길)로 알려진 이 강은 수천 년 동안 원주민 공동체의 생명줄이었습니다. 오늘날 이 강은 대륙 무역과 생태계의 초석으로, 세인트로렌스 수로의 거대한 선박부터 기수역의 멸종 위기종 흰고래까지 모든 것을 지탱하고 있습니다. 이곳 모리스버그에서는 강둑을 따라 평화롭게 산책하며 바다로 더 가까이 흘러가는 물을 볼 수 있습니다.

세인트 로렌스 강둑에 위치한 이 공원에는 보트 발사대 및 부두, 피크닉 쉼터, 화장실, 스포츠 경기장, 그리고 물가를 따라 이어지는 산책로가 잘 갖추어져 있습니다. 강가에서 수영을 하거나 휴식을 취할 수 있는 작은 해변도 있습니다.

The Jones Creek Trails on the east side of Mud Creek comprise four short hikes through the densely forested region and along the wetlands of Mud Creek and Jones Creek. The parking lot for these hikes is located off the Thousand Islands Parkway. A day parking ticket can be purchased from a vending machine and costs $8.50; it is valid for all parking areas in Thousand Islands National Park. The four short trips can be combined into a 3.5 km round trip, including the boardwalk through the beautiful Mud Creek wetlands.

Mud Creek is a stream in Thousand Islands National Park that drains into the St. Lawrence River via Jones Creek. The open waters are flanked by extensive wetlands, some of which can be explored via boardwalks on the Jones Creek Trails. Access to the trails near Mallorytown is via the Thousand Islands Parkway or Mallorytown Road. (Visit June 12, 2025)

Heron Loop leads along a hill above the Mud Creek wetland. Two Parks Canada Red Chairs invite you to linger and enjoy the magnificent view over the reeds in the wetland, the creek, and all the way to Jones Creek. (Visit June 12, 2025)

The boardwalk extends deep into the wetland along Mud Creek. However, the boardwalk over the creek, as shown on the Komoot map, is missing. The trails on the west side of Mud Creek, such as Wolf Trail, are accessible via Mallorytown Road. (Visit June 12, 2025) https://www.trailforks.com/trails/boardwalk-796503/

The Cranberry 50 trail takes you straight through the little town of Wanakena, which is a great spot to start/end your hike or refill supplies as needed. The route takes you along 2nd Street and Ranger School Road, past the SUNY-ESF Ranger School which offers programs in forestry and natural resource management.

This first-come, first-serve lean-to on the shore of the pond is often used by thru-hikers on the Cranberry 50, or section hikers just out for a day or two. There are a few primitive campsites farther north along the shore.
