Exploring The 1000 Islands
Posted on Aug 25, 2009 under Uncategorized | No Comment
It was August 22, 2009 when I travel to 1000 Islands which is located at Gananoque Ontario Canada. We traveled from Ottawa to Kingston and reached our destination at around four in the afternoon. We rest and relax for a moment and then bought our tickets at around three in the afternoon. I’m so excited together with my brother and his girlfriend Betty. It’s so impress with the beauty of the Islands.
The Thousand Islands is the name of an archipelago of islands that straddle the U.S.-Canada border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch for about 50 miles (80 km) downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario. The U.S. islands are in the state of New York. The islands, which number 1,793 in all, range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, to even smaller uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are home to migratory waterfowl. The number of islands was determined using the criteria that any island must be above water level for 365 (366) days per year, bigger than one square foot (roughly 930 cm²), and support at least one living tree. The area is very popular among vacationers, campers, and boaters, and is often referred to as the “fresh water boating capital of the world”.
