Four routes. One perfect summer. Whether you are an Active Explorer looking for hidden channels, a Family Discovery seeker chasing treetop thrills, or a culture seeker hunting for local artisan finds, we have curated the ultimate itineraries to help you see the islands like a local.

Each path showcases a different side of the river, from the high-flying adrenaline of the forest canopy to the quiet studios of downtown Gananoque.

In the 1000 Islands, the drive is part of the adventure. The 1000 Islands Parkway is a ribbon of road that hugs the shoreline, winding past quiet bays and rocky outcroppings.

Whether you drive it, cycle it, or stop for the views, let the river set the pace for your day. Take the slow road this weekend.

Part museum, part living waterfront. At the 1000 Islands Boat Museum, history is not behind glass; it is floating at the docks.

Let the kids learn the art of nautical knot-tying or watch active boatbuilding in the Boathouse before catching a ride on a vintage heritage boat. It is a hands-on connection to the river that starts the moment you step onto the pier.
