St. Lawrence River 

Originating at the northeastern end of Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River flows 700 miles to the Atlantic Ocean – draining well over 30,000 square miles of the Great Lakes Basin. With an average width of two miles and maximum depth of over 200 feet, this sole natural outlet for the Great Lakes System is the largest east-west river in North America.

 

The first 114 miles of the waterway forms the border between Canada and northern New York (USA). The river provides a power source, and ocean-inland shipping channel and a variety of tourist attractions. The river and lock system was born (a wonder in itself) creating a vast and prolific recreational fishery – not to mention the perfect natural habitat for carp. When Carp were introduced into to this waterway, no one could have guessed how many and how huge these monsters were going to become.
