Gananoque

Gateway to the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence River, Gananoque is a tiny Ontario town with a waterfront setting and a café and restaurant scene that holds a surprising number of options for its size. The Gananoque River runs through town, and the St. Lawrence forms its southern edge, making the water a constant presence. Boat tours into the Thousand Islands depart from here, drawing visitors who use the town as a base for exploring the archipelago.
