Canada&#39;s Thousand Islands, also known as the Thousand Islands, is a beautiful landscape in North America. Various small islands stand in the blue water of the Thousand Islands. It is a great feeling to take a cruise in the lake.

We didn&#39;t really know what to expect but our family was mesmerized by the city, the scenery and the area. We planned for a quick overnight stay but ended up staying 2 nights and it was a blast!

The main purpose was to visit Heart Island. It is said that Bolt Castle was built by Bolt, an American tycoon, in the early 20th century after he bought the heart-shaped island and planned to build the most luxurious castle for his wife. The castle was built in 1900 and took four years to build. Unexpectedly, Bolt&#39;s wife died before the castle was completed, so Bolt never set foot on Heart Island again. Later, Heart Island was bought by the US government and developed into a tourist attraction in the Thousand Islands Lake area. Sure enough, architecture with stories can inspire imagination.

Take a cruise from Gananoque Pier, which is better than the pier in front of Kingston City Hall, less crowded and easier to park. There are no family packages anymore. The one-hour cruise is nothing to see. It takes 2.5 hours to go around Heart Island where the American Boldt Castle is located, and then come back, which is more beautiful.

We chose Kingston as a rest stop when driving from Toronto to Ottawa. The town is not big, but there are quite a lot of people in the town center. We looked for a parking space for a long time, and it was still charged. After lunch, we walked along the lakeside to enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Ontario. The entire coastal road takes about 30-40 minutes to walk, and you can walk slowly if you have time.
