Île aux Noix, River island in Quebec, Canada
The island extends across 85 hectares in the Richelieu River, featuring natural landscapes and military structures near Lake Champlain.
The French military constructed the initial fortification on the island in 1759 during the French and Indian War to protect against British advances.
Fort Lennox National Historic Site preserves the military architecture and tells the story of conflicts between French, British, and American forces.
Visitors can access the island through water routes and explore Fort Lennox, with guided tours available from May through October.
The island housed a Royal Navy shipyard from 1812 to 1834, where vessels were constructed for military operations on Lake Champlain.
