Landon Bay Centre Lookout Trail

Landon Bay Centre Lookout Trail is one of the Thousand Islands region’s premier scenic hiking routes, offering elevated views over the St. Lawrence River and surrounding island landscapes. Located within Thousand Islands National Park near Gananoque, the trail combines forest hiking, Canadian Shield terrain, and panoramic lookout points that attract outdoor enthusiasts and photographers throughout the tourism season. The route climbs gradually through hardwood forests and rocky ridges before reaching dramatic viewpoints overlooking the Thousand Islands archipelago. Visitors can observe passing boats, island cottages, and expansive river scenery stretching across the international border region. The combination of elevation and waterfront vistas makes the trail especially popular for photography and fall-colour hikes. Interpretive signs along portions of the route provide insight into the Frontenac Arch Biosphere and local ecology. Wildlife sightings are common and may include hawks, songbirds, deer, and reptiles native to the area. The trail’s moderate terrain appeals to both casual hikers and more experienced outdoor enthusiasts looking for scenic day hikes within Eastern Ontario cottage country. Sunrise and sunset visits often provide particularly striking views over the St. Lawrence River landscape.
