Touring Thousand Island Region

When on Vacation we were fortunate enough to visit the Thousand Islands Region. We took a boat tour with Uncle Sam's Boats. The tour was about three hours long and consisted of viewing American Millionaire and Canadian Millionaire estates. The Tour ended at Boldt Castle.

The 1000 Islands Region is an international tourism destination, encompassing communities on both sides of the US and Canada border along the St. Lawrence River and the eastern shores of Lake Ontario. The region takes its name from the more than 1000 islands that dot the lake and river along this international waterway. The region extends from Kingston to Cornwall on the Canadian side, and from Oswego to Massena on the US side, reaching inland to the foothills of the Adirondack mountains to embrace the communities that are west and north of the Adirondack Park, and the four NY Counties of Oswego, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence.
