They consist of small rivers and intricate channels that carve through the rocky island terrain, making them the perfect place to explore via kayak. You can choose to go on a guided tour with one of the regional outfitters in the area, or go off on your own adventure with friends. You can follow the Thousand Islands Water Trail, featuring nine interconnected routes that stretch through the park's main areas: Kingston Isles (I) Bateau Channel Admiralty Islands Lake Fleet Islands Navy Islands Raft Narrows Grenadier Island Mallorytown Landing Brock Isles View this post on Instagram This little island is for sale. May or may not include a sump pump, septic tank and water snakes. | #cabinporn #campvibes #cabinlife #kayak #kayaking #djimavicpro#djimavic #fromwhereidrone #ygk#discoverontario #kingston #travelontario #sharecg#travelstoke A post shared by ALIJA BOS PHOTOGRAPHY 📷 (@alijabos) on Sep 9, 2018 at 8:59am PDT View this post on Instagram Teal and Orange | #paddleallyear #exploremore #adventureon#cotopaxi #weouthere#travelstoke #ontario #exploreontario #travelontario #sharecg #canoe # A post shared by ALIJA BOS PHOTOGRAPHY 📷 (@alijabos) on Apr 24, 2018 at 5:31am PDT The routes are either full-day or half-day adventures, each offering entirely different kayaking experiences with their own unique points of interest to watch for. For example, the Kingston Isles Trail lets you see the Cataraqui Marsh, Kingston Mills, and Old Fort Henry, which are all historic sites in the region. The Brock Isles, on the other hand, lead you to more natural locations, such as St. Lawrence Park, Henry Park, and Skeleton Island.
