Boating on the St. Lawrence River

A Boater’s Paradise!

 

Nestled in the heart of the Thousand Islands region in upstate New York, Alexandria Bay has a rich history in boating.

Today, the St. Lawrence Seaway is primarily used for international shipping and recreation.

The Thousand Islands is truly a boaters’ paradise. Alexandria Bay is the perfect starting point for exploring the Thousand Islands and Lake Ontario. The St. Lawrence River, with over 1,800 islands in the region, has made Alexandria Bay and the area one of the most popular places to go boating in North America!
