Entrance to the Bridge to Wellesley Island

That's some slope

Up we go

Concentrating..high and narrow bridge

Over the St. Lawrence River

This bridge continues to Canada.

The State Park is on the northwest part of the island,

and we stayed for two nights.

We took a tour of the island.  At the western tip

of the island is the town of Thousand Islands Park.

A summer resort with old Victorian Homes all in a park
like setting, of course a very affluent area then and now.

The homes were very well taken care of.

Town Square..use only golf carts please.

Just outstanding..one after another.

Many Cottages on islands in the river

Look B..there's your freighter going by.
