Walk around if you can
by janika
It is very weird that such a small town as Gananoque has no parking. If there is not enough parking in Toronto or Ottawa, I understand but a small township like this?!
There are parking meters everywhere! The same applies to Kingston. I was kind of disappointed when I was this. If you can find a good & safe parking spot, than lock your car and start walking on foot. It is the absolute best way to see this town. Plus you won't miss interesting stuff like this fire hydrant.

. My Fondest Memory Of Gananoque was the Indian art and the personalized city hydrants like this one. Don't forget, there is a casino in gananoque. If you like to gamble, you can do so here. It is called Charity Casino.

Riverside Camping In Gananoque
by JJFanagh
"Ivy Lea - Parks of St. Lawrence"
From Gananoque to Brockville, the St. Lawrence River churns its way through the "Thousand Islands" (actually more). Granite-based islands, topped with oak and spruce, range from a few feet across to an entire county of several square miles.
An ideal place for water-attracted folks, the river runs deep, fast (depending on the channel) and clear (thanks to zebra-shell mussels). Canoe put-ins exist everywhere: there are numerous canoe and boat rental places in Ivy Lea and near Langdon Bay, and a day's canoe trek can take you up the Gananoque River, into Langdon Bay, or along the islands and their hundreds of sumptuous mansions and modest cottages, side by side. Swimming (and scuba diving) are wonderful in the warmer months. Bike trails also run along the St. Lawrence Parkway for most of its length.
Ivy Lea park is right up to water, with dozens of campsites adjacent to both a main channel and a side channel of the river. Kayaking and canoeing are possible right from the edge of your campsite.
