Thousand Islands

Dotted all over an 80 km / 50 mi stretch of the St Lawrence are thousands of little islands.

They are on a granite shelf extending from the Canadian Shield to the Adirondack Mountains in the United States - the boundary actually runs between the islands. It is an area of great scenic beauty, and one of the oldest and best-known holiday venues in North America, particularly for holidays on and around the water.

A cruise in this maze of islands is highly recommended. Operating between mid-May and mid-October; lasting about 3 hours, and the ever-changing vistas will include glimpses of holiday homes that range from the plainest of log cabins to the most luxurious of summer villas.
