The Raft Narrows route leads paddlers through the heart of the Thousand Islands, past the diverse shorelines of Hill Island, and through the sheltered passage of Lake of the Isles. Between the tiny potholes near Rockport communities of Ivy Lea and Rockport, the St. Lawrence river reaches its narrowest point in the Raft Narrows, a busy section where the traffic overhead on the International Bridge seems surreal in the beautiful surroundings. The legends dance along the mysterious Lost Channel, echo off the rocky shore of Constance Island and whistle through lofty pines somehow secure atop solid granite. Ample camping on the mainland at Ivy Lea Park and island sites on Georgina lure paddlers to stay at the midway point of the through trip of the trail.
