The Thousand Islands is a truly beautiful area. It is bordered by NY State USA and by the Ontario region on the other. Take a boat tour to visit these charming islands. You'll find them small and big, all enchanting. Houses and cottages make them even more magical. Many celebrities have or had a home here. You can take a tour from Gananoque or Rockport.
