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
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.
