The Long Sault Parkway is a group of eleven islands west of Cornwall in the Canadian province of Ontario, as well as the name of the 10.1-kilometre (6.3 mi) scenic parkway connecting them. The islands, which include two public beaches and three campgrounds, were created by the flooding of the Long Sault rapids during construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The parkway, the islands, and their amenities are maintained by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission.
The parkway is located between the towns of Ingleside and Long Sault in the municipality of South Stormont, and connects with County Road2 (former Highway 2) at both ends. Ingleside and Long Sault were created concurrently with the parkway to rehouse the residents of farms and communities that now lie below the surface of the St. Lawrence River as the result of the construction of the Moses-Saunders Power Dam. Beginning on July1, 1958, and proceeding for nearly a week, 58,000 acres (235 km2) of land between Iroquois and Cornwall were flooded; forming an island chain from the hilltops of the inundated land. Several sites along the parkway pay homage to these lost villages.
