1000 Islands – upstate NY

A treasure at the St. Lawrence River as it flows northeast to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. As you start reading about it in the NY State brochures you just know you’re going to explore sections of it, especially the 1000 Islands section.

We parked at the Massena International Kampground RV Park for a two week stay. It is halfway between two side trips we wanted to make. One was for this story and the other was a trip to Montreal. The CG is just a short distance to the seaway bridge and an hour to Montreal (another story).

From our CG we drove down the scenic highway along the river to Alexandria Bay. It’s where the river tour boats from the USA side depart and return. There is ample parking at the ticket locations but a little tight for a dually. The tour will take a whole day. On the way out there is a stop at Boldt Island. They have a number of shops there and you can take a tour of the Boldt Castle. When done you can take another outgoing tour boat – no cost – to finish the tour of the major section of the 1000 islands. The tour boat cost was not super expensive and the snack shop on it had very reasonable prices.

Our tour was on a beautiful clear day with little breezes. I must have taken 200 – 300 pictures.
