More Things To Do in and around the Thousand Islands

Activities: Play golf on a course that can only be reached by boat, stroll through the Thousand Islands Park village with its colorful gingerbread houses that take you back to the turn of the century or dine on the front porch of its grand old hotel. Share in the excitement of Alexandria Bay's Pirates Weekend or its Poker Race of the roaring cigarette boats, enjoy the night life, visit wonderful art galleries, the restored opera house and Clayton's antiques shops. Watch the islanders come by boat to get their supplies at the various towns’ docks, enjoy restaurants on the water, the Casino and see the fabulous Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY.

Want more? Go Island hopping, sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, scuba diving or snorkeling, cycling, horseback riding, hunting, roller blading or play tennis. Of course, you can do nothing at all...on the dock lounging in the Adirondack chairs watching the river go by.

Wildlife: The island is wonderfully unspoiled with a variety of beautiful flora and fauna as it lies within the boundaries of the UNESCO Thousand Islands-Frontenac Arch Biosphere Reserve.
There are tremendous opportunities from Honey Bee Island to view wildlife, waterfowl and birds as they abound in the surrounding area. You will often see deer, mink or muskrat swimming from island to island as well as beaver and playful otter when you're out in your boat or relaxing on the dock. Birders will enjoy tiny hummingbirds, Canadian Geese, a vast array of songbirds, ducks with their rafts of ducklings and the majestic Bald Eagles and Osprey whose nests are within viewing distance of Honey Bee Island.
