Thousand Islands

The Thousand Islands, a North American archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddles the Canada–US boundary in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario, is one of Canada's most beautiful sights. These islands are a hybrid of the two countries.

Canada owns Wolfe Island, the largest of the Thousand Islands and home to a corn maze. Despite the fact that Wellesley Island, which is home to the Lake of the Isles, is a US settlement, a peaceful sailing adventure is the ideal way to get to know the area. Wind your way through narrow watery passages, listening to the lovely silence of lapping waters and wildlife cries as you gaze out to isolated dwellings perched sadly on the shoreline. The Woodview Inn is a great spot to stay just down the road from the Thousand Islands National Park.
