Thousand Islands is an archipelago close to the borders of the United States and Canada. On land, you may bike across picturesque routes, passing around attractions such as the Henderson Harbor or the parks along the Long Sault Parkway. Because this region is home to beaches and waterways, travelers love to kayak around the St. Lawrence River, and thrill-seekers enjoy whitewater rafting on the rapids of the Black River. Throughout the year, Thousand Islands is also a famous fishing destination with trophy-sized catches of many types. If you’re planning a fishing trip to this place, you need not look further. Read through the top fishing lodges in Thousand Islands.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and a location with easy access to fishing spots. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 31, 2024.
