The CSPA is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River.

It includes 11 municipalities within the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA) jurisdiction plus the municipality of Frontenac Islands (Howe and Wolfe Islands) and about 1,800 smaller islands in the St. Lawrence River (see Figure 1-2).

  • Five Forest Tour
    Five Forest Tour The Frontenac Arch, especially at this midway region between the Canadian Shield and Adirondack Mountains, has extremely rich natural environments and biodiversity. It was an ideal candidate for a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. It’s a classic case of “location, location, location”. The Frontenac Arch connects the boreal forest of the Canadian Shield to the Appalachian forests of the Adirondack and Appalachian Mountains. And here at the centre of the Frontenac Arch, the St. Lawrence Valley links the forests of the Great Lakes and Atlantic Coast. It’s an intersection of major natural migration routes, linking those forest regions. Forest types reflect their geology and climate. The Frontenac Arch and the river valley are corridors that link and intermingle them. The geological character of this landscape and the moderating effect of Lake Ontario created the niches and opportunities for the plants and animals more normally found in other geographies to coexist. Explore this subtle mix of forests and see the biodiversity first hand. Brockville sits at the eastern edge of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, and this tour will take you from sandstone plains, to the rugged core of the Frontenac Arch. Wear your hiking shoes; bring along field guides and binoculars if you have them. Tour from the FAB Brockville Gateway fabbrockville.ca 1. Mac Johnson To get a picture of forest communities at the east edge of the Frontenac Wildlife Area Arch Biosphere, a short excursion north of town is helpful. This will take you onto the sandstone plain to the east of the granites of the Frontenac Arch.
