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.

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