This one-of-a-kind experience offers unparalleled 360 views of the islands and St Lawrence River. In the fall season, you can see the stunning fall foliage as it takes over the ground below.

It’s a unique tourist attraction that you have to see to believe.

Since it is close to the U.S. border, you can also catch a view of the 1000 Islands Bridge and The U.S. customs.

Once you’ve done all you came to see, make sure to stop by Gananoque if you haven’t already.

The town is internationally recognized as one of Eastern Ontario’s most stunning waterfront communities, according to 1000 Islands Tourism. Here you’ll find a charming downtown core home to delicious dining spots, local shops, arts, and culture.

From Antiques and collectible shops to wellness experiences and museum tours, Gananoque is a town full of hidden gems, wonders, and a bold past.
