Gananoque

Gananoque is the beloved gateway to the Thousand Islands, where century-old limestone buildings line the waterfront and boat cruises weave through a labyrinth of pine-crowned islands. It's a compact, unhurried river town that delivers big on scenery, kayaking, and fresh-caught perch dinners.
