Gateway to the Thousand Islands

Recommended by Monaleisa

Cruise through the 1000 islands on Gananoque Boat Line, City Cruises Gananoque or Rockport Cruises. They have a variety of experiences to choose from.

A popular place to visit with the cruise is Boldt Castle, located on Heart Island. Along the way, you will also learn about the history of lost ships and the surrounding area.

Cruises are a great option for friends and families and, along the way, give you plenty of areas to take photos!

An additional option is to reach new heights with a ride on 1000 Islands Helicopter Tours or Skydive Gananoque.

Thousand Islands Playhouse

Recommended by Monaleisa

Take in a play at Thousand Islands Playhouse. A high-calibre show in this nice little town is something you definitely want to experience on your visit here!

The Thousand Islands Playhouse, which features two theatres on the St. Lawrence River’s banks, is Canada’s most scenic theatre.

The Springer Theatre is a small, air-conditioned vintage “canoe club” that accommodates 360 people and has the most extended decks in the area. The other is a historic structure, the Firehall Theatre, which is ideal for creative production.

The company produces eight shows annually from mid-May through late October, with performances every Tuesday through Sunday.

Confederation Park

Recommended by Monaleisa

Enjoy one of Ontario’s largest outdoor contemporary art exhibits at Confederation Park, also known as the Sculpture Park. The park is located on what used to be a large industrial area that stretched across both banks of the Gananoque River.

The Rotary Club gradually built walkways, lighting, ponds, and a lovely fountain in the middle of the river. Several sculptures were eventually leased from the Art Bank in Ottawa.

Don’t miss this unique exhibit; you won’t be disappointed!

Gananoque Municipal Marina

The Marina is one of Gananoque’s top attractions. It’s a great place to see big boats and yachts, walk around the docks, and take pictures.

There is also a splash pad and beach nearby if you get tired of seeing boats in and out of the docks all day!

If you are travelling down the river on your boat and need a place to stay the night, you can dock at the Marina for the night for a fee.
