Step into the watershed

Walk alongside a water walker as she welcomes you to the watershed. Marvel at the vibrant, deepening blues of the lakes’ bathymetry. Read the names of the languages that have been spoken on the land for years untold. See how the land is being used in the network of waterways that flow across the landscape. Find your home — and be inspired by the places you could go.

Swim Guide

Swim Guide was launched in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence watershed more than a decade ago to help address water quality concerns and answer your question: Is it safe to swim here? Swim Guide is now international yet continues to help people around the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence watershed connect to their local water and understand health risks associated with recreating in the water.
