Clayton Area in the Thousand Islands
Just minutes from the Canadian border, Clayton is the quintessential river village that shouldn't be missed
Just minutes from the Canadian border, Clayton is the quintessential river village, a jewel of a peninsula surrounded by the St. Lawrence River. Settled in 1822, Clayton was a major shipbuilding and lumbering port and dozens of charming buildings from this magnificent era still remain today.
The village is home to some of the most unique museums and galleries in the Thousand Islands, including the renowned Antique Boat Museum. You’ll also find charming shops and outdoor activities ranging from fishing to golfing, diving, kayaking and hiking, all within walking distance. And anglers can launch their pursuit of a trophy muskellunge or bass from one of Clayton’s many river access points.
While there, stay in a charming bed and breakfast right in the village or camp at one of the scenic state parks with local campgrounds along the river. Pamper yourself at a luxury resort or spend the week in one of many cottages located along the river shores that will leave you refreshed and ready to explore even more of this amazing area.
