Sightseeing
Beautiful to walk around and enjoy this part of natural Canada. If you go in the morning, buy a bag of seed from the centre (maybe $1) and hold you hand up with the seeds to feed the chickadees! They will land on your hand.They come to feed all year long.

Taking the boat tour from Gananoque gets you right into the heart of the islands. The 2 hour cruise is great, bring your passports if you take the longer tour. You'll stop at Bolt Castle in New York and you'll need it to disembark!
