River tour along the St Lawrence, many options available

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boldt_Castle

Flickr Album A relaxing river cruise along the St Lawrence river, which flows across the US/Canada border takes you to the famous Boldt Castle (NY) of the Thousand Islands. Did this as part of a small trip I had with my mom (as with the last few days and a woodstock post coming up). You can also go on to the island as part of some tours, but we didn’t.

The powerhouse for Boldt Castle, which looks like a castle in its own right.

The side of Boldt Castle, with the dove-cote (middle) and a portion of the powerhouse on the right.

One of the five bridge sections (the largest I believe) that span over the St Lawrence River from Canada (right of frame) to the US (left of frame).

Bonus picture of the cutest little house on the river that is so excited to see you!

    Yeah that castle has a neat story as well. The entire property was sold for a penny under the promise that the buyer would finish the build under the original plans because it was a gift for his wife that had passed and he got to old. My grandfather may have “borrowed” a bunch of stone from there and brought it back to his house to build a fireplace back in the 60s or so
