There is no better way to experience the beauty of the St. Lawrence River than from
the bow of a boat. The spray in your face- the wind in your hair- its a feeling like no
other. The magnificence of the sparkling water, set off by the picturesque islands, offers
a potent reminder of why the 1000 Islands has long been the choice of vacationers
from around the world. Take off and try tubing, head out on water skies. Explore the
islands, and stop for a quick swim or picnic.
Be sure to bring your own boat. Clayton
makes it easy to get your boat into the
water. The village provides a public launch
and docking at many points along the river
including a 200-foot floating dock complex
in front of the Village. Clayton also has
a number of well-equipped full service
marinas where you can buy gas, supplies,
dock for the evening, or rent watercraft
ranging from kayaks to canoes and small
fishing boats to pontoon "party boats".
If you don't have your own boat, you can
enjoy the guided pleasures of a boat
tour. The scenic vessels leave Clayton
throughout the day, and travel beneath the
1000 Islands Bridge to near-by alexandria
Bay and its romantic Boldt Castle, and
around the islands into Canada. You'll
learn about Clayton's colorful past filled
with bootleggers, pirates and local "river
rats". Perhaps you would prefer a private,
personalized tour where you can try a
day of "rivering" with a local guide on his
private boat. With just your own friends
and family aboard, your tour can be as
personalized as you like.
