St. Lawrence Reservation
The St. Lawrence Reservation (translated 'St. Lawrence Reservation', originally known as the State Reservation on the St. Lawrence ) was a former sanctuary that the State of New York City in the late 19th century in the Thousand Islands region along the St Lawrence River had set up.
The reserve's parks were among the earliest properties New York State acquired for recreational and land conservation purposes. Originally intended as part of an international park with islands protected by Canada , properties acquired by New York for the reserve are now managed as independent national parks by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation . Islands that formed the Canadian part of the never realized international park are now part of the Thousand Islands National Park .
