Combine your culture quest with a boat cruise on the St. Lawrence River. The Rhineland-inspired Boldt Castle technically lies in the USA near Alexandria Bay but is accessible by boat or water taxi from Gananoque. Discover a tragic love story that lies behind the construction of the gigantic 120-room castle. The Boldt Castle Yacht House on Wellesley Island stands testament to the wealth of the Boldt family with its magnificent towers, spires, and shingle-style architectural design. Don't miss the 1892 Steam Yacht and antique wooden boats while here.
Once back at your cottage rental, why not check out the Thousand Islands Playhouse, named “the most charming theatre in Canada” by CBC Radio. Their eclectic program includes rib-tickling comedies, musicals, and powerful dramas. Local taverns near the playhouse are perfect for a pre-show supper.
