Gananoque
A small town at the gateway to Thousand Islands boat tours, with a tour boat dock, the Thousand Islands Playhouse, and lakeside trails that capture a summer resort feel.
Gananoque lies about 30 kilometers east of Kingston and is the main departure point for Thousand Islands boat tours on the Canadian side. It is known as the 'Gateway to the Thousand Islands.' The lakeside has a tour boat dock, the Thousand Islands Playhouse, and park trails. Along King Street, the main street, you'll find cafés and boutiques, and in summer you can rent yachts and kayaks. You can reach it by car or bus from Kingston, and it works well as a half- or full-day trip paired with a boat tour.
