The 1000 Islands is a grand name, and if anything it doesn't convey the full scale of the area, which encompasses an archipelago of 1,864 islands scattered along the St. Lawrence River. These land masses differ in size greatly, from tiny outcrops to long-inhabited islands. From Clayton vacation rentals, it's easy to reach the archipelago and spot the wildlife. Deer roam along the banks of the river, wild turkeys and shorebirds gather on the smaller islands, while beavers can be seen damming up the streams and otters swim through the waters in search of fish.
