Gananoque Canada

Gananoque, in the heart of Canada’s beautiful Thousand Islands region, is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The town is surrounded by countless islands, crystal-clear water, and lush forest, offering endless options for outdoor activities. A boat cruise through the Thousand Islands is one of the top things to do in Gananoque. From the water you’ll see many islands, each with its own character and history. You can also explore by kayak or canoe, or head out on scenic hikes through the surrounding woods.

Adventure enthusiasts have plenty to choose from. Fly through the treetops on ziplines at Skywood Eco Adventure Park, challenge yourself on the ropes course, or enjoy nearby golf courses, fishing, hunting, and winter activities such as snowmobiling and ice fishing. The town offers a wide range of places to stay, from cozy bed-and-breakfasts to upscale waterfront resorts. Dining options are just as varied, with many restaurants serving fresh local ingredients and St. Lawrence River seafood.
