You'd be looking for charts off this list I think:

Your best bet, however, is to go to a local boating shop [like West Marine or something to that effect] and buy the chart you want. They also have chart books, I got one that has about 100 charts in it, from Block Island, RI all the way up to the Canadian border. It was expensive, but definately worth it [it's got scribbles throughout]....

maptech.com in general can be a very useful site.

I'm going to plead geographical idiocy and admit that I am not sure which of the lakes the St. Lawrence river touches.
The site does have some stuff in the ChartBook section (as opposed to the waterproof chart section).
To tell the truth, I just use Map Server...you can pretty much plug in anything you want and it will give you the portion of the map you need.
Here is an example: a nautical map of Mackinac Island, MI.

If you poke around a bit, you might be able to find a bit more stuff for the Great Lakes. Hope this helped.

Map Server, meaning...
Go to http://www.maptech.com - across the upper right, you'll see a menu. The second option from the left should read Online maps, charts and photos. Click that to activate a dropdown menu. The first option in the dropdown will be Start MapServer. That is the Map Server...
