The 1000 Islands
Like a scattering of jewels across the St Lawrence River, The 1000 Islands is one of Canada's best-kept recreational secrets. It is the smallest and one of the most beautiful of Canada's National Parks. The 1000 Islands recreational area extends from Kingston to Brockville on the Canadian side of the river and from Cape Vincent to Chippawa Bay on the American side of the river. Unlike many other recreational areas it is easily accessed by air, road and/or rail from most major cities in Ontario, Quebec and the eastern the United States.
It was in the 1800's that the area was discovered as a recreational playground and many large summer homes were built. Today there are still some of the great old houses as well as many wonderful newer ones. Unlike many other recreational areas the Islands have not been spoiled with over-development and uncontrolled growth. In fact the views from my island have changed very little over the last 40 years. In addition to fabulous water sports and boating the area includes numerous golf courses and several fine theaters
Island and waterfront properties are often handed down from generation to generation and as a result properties available for sale are scarce and often sell quickly. If you are interested in more information about the islands and what properties are available for sale please contact me.
Charleston Lake
Charleston Lake is a large (about 6,000 acres), deep (in some places more than 400 feet) lake with about 120 islands of varying size. The surrounding area is rich in history. It was settled in the early 1700s. In the early 1800's, around the war of 1812, a number of United Empire Loyalists moved north from the now United States to start a new life. For over 100 years it the area has had a reputation as a wonderful vacation spot for families and fishermen alike. The lake is renown for its bass and lake trout fishing and its tranquility. It is accessible by road, via Highway 401 and Interstate 81, and rail and air from both Canada and the United States, via airports in Brockville and Kingston.
Much of the land surrounding the lake is an Ontario Provincial Park. For many years now the Provincial Government on behalf of Charleston Lake Provincial Park and The Charleston Lake Association have been working together to preserve the natural and cultural elements of the area. Charleston Lake is a special place. Come and see for yourself.
