The scenic 1000 Islands region constitutes a mammoth archipelago of 1,864 islands! The natives called this area the ‘Garden of the Great Spirit’ and with its beautiful scenic blend of green woods and sparkling water it’s not hard to see why.

In this North-Western area of New York State    you will find some of the finest undiscovered fresh water scuba-diving in the world. Featuring crystal clear waters, excellent visibility and shipwrecks from centuries past.

Underwater enthusiasts will want to dive into the clear blue waters of the St Lawrence River to explore the many wrecks that rest on the riverbed. The water clarity here provides excellent underwater visibility (50-70 feet in 100 depths is not unusual), with comfortable water temperatures running from May through October. Divers agree that the St. Lawrence River and 1000 Islands are one of North America's truly great, yet undiscovered diving destinations. 

There are also plenty of ‘above-water’ attractions available in the 1000 Islands region. Kayaking, canoeing, jet-skiing or boating are just a few of the many ways you can explore the waterways here.
