The Lake Fleet Islands stretch from the international boundary and the northern shore of Grindstone (USA) in a long narrow arc, in a northeastern direction to Stave Island. The Lake Fleet arm reaches nearly 5 kilometers, offering leeside shelter for paddling the route from either direction. The rugged islands of wind-swept white pine and rich hemlock gullies are reminiscent of our northern forests. Island names like Dumfounder, Bloodletter, Axeman and Deathdealer evoke strong images of the history of the place, forcing one to wrestle the imagination to stay in the present day. The national park islands, Camelot and Endymion are premiere destinations for paddlers looking to explore the most secluded spots in the Thousand Islands.
