Things to do
Antique boats and art galleries
The 1000 Islands area is studded with several fascinating museums and art galleries. The Antique Boat Museum, for example, has one of the finest collections of classic sea vessels in the world.

Visits to the Winged Bull Studio and the St. Lawrence River Art Gallery are a must. Alternatively, the Local, family-run shops can be explored, to seek out historical photos and books that chronicle the history and heritage of the 1000 Islands. And, if you're a music buff, you can always soak up a concert at the Clayton Opera House.

The Clayton vacation rentals are open all year round, and each of the 4 distinct seasons offer something new and magical to explore. During spring, the area warms up and the banks of the river come alive with colorful wildflowers. Summer can be humid and hot, but you can cool off in the river.

Natural features
Wildlife on the 1000 Islands
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.
