Exploring the 1000 Islands Region: A Scenic Adventure in New York

Exploring the 1000 Islands Region: A Scenic Adventure in New York

The picturesque Thousand Islands region is a hidden gem nestled between the United States and Canada. This guide will take you on my journey through the area, featuring breathtaking kayaking experiences on Lake Ontario, RV camping at Association Island, a visit to the iconic Boldt’s Castle, and a trip to the historic Sackets Harbor.

1. Kayaking on Lake Ontario: Embark on an unforgettable kayaking adventure on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Ontario. Discover stunning shoreline views, and vibrant birdlife as you paddle along secluded islands. Rent a kayak from one of the local outfitters, and don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking scenery along the way. We came equipped with our Old Town Fishing Kayaks. Almost every eve the sunsets were UNREAL, the pics don’t do it justice!!!

1. Camping at Association Island: Experience camping at Association Island, a secluded island surrounded by the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario. Set up your RV or rent a newly built & modern tiny home. The campground is well equipped, you can spend your days swimming in the lake or pool, or simply relaxing by the campfire as you gaze at the starlit sky.

1. Visiting Boldt’s Castle: Immerse yourself in the captivating history and grandeur of Boldt’s Castle. Located on Heart Island, this historic landmark boasts impressive architecture and stunning gardens. Take a guided tour through the castle’s beautifully restored rooms, and learn about the love story behind its creation. We took a cruise on the majestic St. Lawrence river weaving in and out of the isles.

1. Exploring Sackets Harbor: Step back in time as you visit the charming village of Sackets Harbor. Discover its rich history as a major naval shipyard during the War of 1812. Stroll through the quaint streets lined with boutiques, art galleries, and cozy cafes, and savor delicious local cuisine at one of the waterfront restaurants. We dined outdoors in the garden patio at The Tin Pan Galley. Their breakfast is amazing along with their spicy Bloody Mary’s! Chrissy Beanz Bakery is a must for coffee and sweets. We tried The Boathouse for dinner at sunset and one of my favorite stops is the metaphysical store called The Handmaiden’s Garden for tea blends and a plethora of oracle cards and spiritual books to peruse.

The 1000 Islands region perfectly blends natural beauty, history, and adventure. Whether you’re kayaking on the pristine waters of Lake Ontario with the most stunning sunsets, camping amidst the serenity of Association Island, exploring the majestic Boldt’s Castle, or wandering the historic streets of Sackets Harbor, this captivating destination promises an unforgettable experience. So, pack your bags, embark on a journey of discovery, and create lasting memories in the breathtaking 1000 Islands area.
