One of the most breathtaking regions to explore in New York, the 1000 Islands are more beautiful than you could've ever imagined.
A familiar sight to see once you're out in this region, Cormorants can be found out amongst the islands. Wondering what other fascinating animals you'll see besides these aquatic birds? Visitors riding on the Night Heron should keep their eyes peeled for animals like muskrats, eagles and other creatures that you normally aren't use to seeing up close in your hometown.
If you've never taken a trip out to the Thousand Islands then you'll be excited to learn that the water that makes up the St. Lawrence River is astonishing. Clean, clear and blue as can be, the glass-bottom boat allows you to view the river's underwater life all from the comfort of this charming boat on the surface.
On this particular trip you can find plenty of great picnic spots and a delightful museum and gift shop that you'll love exploring.
Originally built back in the 1800's as one of six lighthouses along the St. Lawrence River used to guide the waterway's traffic, the lighthouse and island are now maintained by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation.
Giving you several ways to enjoy views of the river, this unique boat tour is an unbelievable way to spend a day outside photographing all there is to see in this underrated region of New York.
The clear water of the St. Lawrence River holds a fascinating history. Scattered all throughout the river you can find shipwrecks that now serve as popular places for explorers to literally go diving into history. Once you get closer to Rock Island you'll be able to see ruins, with informative tour guides telling you more about the area and shipwrecks like A.E. Vickery that sank back in 1889.
