We recently returned from the Thousand Islands, a chain of more than a thousand islands between upstate New York and Ontario, Canada along the St. Lawrence Seaway…and discovered anew that there’s a lot to do in the small 1800s-era town of Clayton, New York.
That is, once you’re done lounging by the wide, deep river for hours on end, gazing at the water and thinking about nothing at all.

We can’t wait to get back to the Thousand Islands in July…
Where are the Thousand Islands, you ask? Well, on the St. Lawrence River between upstate New York and Ontario, Canada. There are actually more than 1000 islands here, but we’re not counting.
Unplugged from much of the modern world, this is the perfect summer spot to turn off your cell phone, kick back in a wooden deck chair, open a book you’ve long neglected, and listen to the river slap the dockside…’til the fireflies come out twinkling.
