The Thousand Islands - Ontario
The St. Lawrence River, one of the world’s great waterways, is a gateway for ocean-going vessels travelling through the Great Lakes. Few stretches of the trip compare in charm or beauty to the Thousand Islands’ an area that contains a scattering of over a thousand tiny islands stretching from just below Kingston downriver to the waterside towns and cities of Gananoque, Brockville, Ivy Lea and Rockport. Cruising opportunities abound from the Kingston boarding site. River sights include the curious Boldt’s Castle, a folly built on one of the islands by millionaire hotelier Boldt and abandoned by grief when his wife died in 1904. It was Oscar, Boldt’s head chef at the Waldorf Astoria who, entertaining summer guests at the castle, concocted Thousand Island salad dressing. Landlubbers will enjoy the scenery form the Thousand Islands Parkway, which runs from the pretty town of Gananoque to Mallorytown Landing.
