1000 Islands trip planner

Running along the border between United States and Canada, New York's Thousand Islands remains a sightseer's heaven that boasts endless shorelines speckled with lighthouses and historic castles. Its serene bays--once patrolled by pirates and bootleggers--today offer some world-class fishing and diving, as well as on-the-water dining. Dozens of unique towns, villages, and hamlets are packed with maritime museums and family attractions. Visitors in pursuit of great outdoors should visit Wellesley Island and explore the rich wildlife of the eponymous state park. A scenic helicopter ride remains one of the best ways to take in the region's breathtaking natural beauty on a New York's Thousand Islands tour.
