Legend Has It
Aerial view of 1000 Islands

There's a magic here—part romance, part mystery, part living history. Castles rise from the shoreline. Lanterns flicker on midnight waters. Sunsets set the river ablaze in colors so vivid they feel painted just for you.

In the 1000 Islands, the legends are all around you. The St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario have carried centuries of stories that continue to shape the character of this place. Now, it's time for you to write your own chapter.
