The Thousand Islands comprises a archipelago of 1,864 islands which spread the Canada-U.S. border in the Saint Lawrence River as it surfaces from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch out for about 50 miles (80 km) downriver from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian isles are in the province of Ontario, the U.S. islands in the state of New York.

The Thousand Islands is a clean resort community bordered by Lake Ontario, the Adirondack Mountains and the great St. Lawrence River.

The St. Lawrence River, streaming in from Lake Ontario develops into during the course of a few miles, so wide and so full of islands that it was called the Lake of the 1000 Islands. The Indians called it as “Manatoana” or Garden of the Great Spirit. As a holiday paradise it is world famous. The river, 15 miles at its origin, ultimately narrows to five miles in width, and the islands over 1800 of them, differ in size from mere tips of rock to those of square miles in area. They stretch from Cape Vincent to Ogdensburg.

The 1000 Islands-Seaway Region features some of the very best sport sportfishing possibilities in the nation all year-round regardless of whether you are a beginner or an serious fisher. It isn't unusual to notice a professional freshwater bass or salmon underway on the St. Lawrence, Lake Ontario, or Oneida Lake. The eastern beaches of Lake Ontario is widely known worldwide as a popular place for salmon. The bass and pike fishing in the St. Lawrence and Oswego rivers is great. The muskie sportfishing in the St. Lawrence River and the walleyed pike fishing in Oneida Lake are famous. The Eastern Lake Ontario tributaries as well form one of the best winter steelhead fisheries in the Northeast.

The 1000 Islands (pronounced  as “Thousand Islands”, and not “One-Thousand Islands”) is a sight seeing paradise and a popular destination for people searching for a geniune outdoor vacation.  Situated across the peaceful border in between Northern New York State (United States) and Southeastern Ontario (Canada) the 1000 Islands is a area of never-ending shorelines, wealthy history and unique culture.


Vacationers have actually been coming to the 1000 Islands for much more than 150 years to get pleasure from its breathtaking beauty.
