THOUSAND ISLANDS

The Thousand Islands is an archipelago of 1,864 islands situated in the Saint Lawrence River, which forms part of the international border between the United States and Canada. The islands range in size from 40 square miles to small uninhabited rock outcroppings or a small isle with a single residence. In order to be considered part of the Thousand Islands, an emergent land must have an area of at least one square foot throughout the year and support a minimum of two living trees.
