Recorded September 9-10, 2016
The Thousand Islands constitute an archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddle the Canada-US border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario.
The video begins as I drive across the Thousand Islands Bridge to Hill Island, Ontario. On Hill Island I ascend the 400-foot high 1000 Islands Tower for a panoramic view of the area. Next I drive back across the Thousand Islands Bridge to Alexandria Bay, New York where I embark on a two nations boat tour with a stop at Boldt Castle. The video concludes as I check into the Riveredge Resort Hotel where I enjoy a spectacular sunset from my balcony overlooking the bay.

Thank you so much for this delightful video. BTW there are over 1800 islands in the 1000 Islands area. For 12 years, my husband and I owed a cottage over near Tibbett's Lighthouse where the St. Lawerance River meets lake Ontario. We just loved the islands. We sold our cottage to buy a winter home in Florida. Sadly, due to COVID-19 we cannot travel back to Rochester and the 1000 Islands, for the summer. I was feeling a bit homesick and found your 1000 Islands video. THANK YOU so MUCH! It brought back so many beautiful memories. Your video is very high quality. Thank you again.

Reliving the same tour I took about 5-6 years ago. Fun to watch. Never got up the tower so far. Glad I got the view from you.

I can’t tell you how many times I made that trip up to our cabin in Gananoque. No way on this planet am I going up the lookout tower. Nice video.

Wow! What are the odds of there being exactly 1000 islands? And whose job was it to count all of them? I sure would hate to lose count at 956 and have to start all over again. Just think if there were 1127 islands. It just wouldn't have the same ring to it. "Hey Bob, guess where I'm going on vacation? The One-thousand one-hundred twenty-seven islands. It's gonna be great!" And could you imagine having to say that when the waitress asks you which salad dressing you'd like? Sorry about that. I couldn't resist. I enjoyed your video. I would love to visit that part of the country. That Wheel Witness gadget is pretty nifty.

There’s actually 1,864 islands split between the U.S. and Canada 🙂
