Really amazing museum in the small vacation town of Clayton. Be sure to take an antique boat ride and to check out the race boat building. Wood Boat brewery is just across the street with amazing pizza and beer.

I have a camp in Clayton and have been visiting this distillery for the past 2 years. The quality of the product and their staff are EXCEPTIONAL. Great family story behind the making of this distillery. They are very community oriented and source locally. They have a small but excellent variety of liquors to choose from. All are made onsite and using local ingredients.. They are a farm to table operation with their restaurant also. Vodka is smooth, refreshing, a bit herbal... It can stand up to any of the high end vodkas and in my humble opinion, surpass them. The gin offerings are also of the highest quality.. They use herbs that they grow on their own farm to flavor... It is the best kind of original and intriguing taste I have ever had in a gin.. Great in G&T AND...it makes a fabulous Bloody Mary with a twist.. They also offer Whisky, Rye, a buttery Cream Liquor and Absinthe.. All of a delight.. What is an added bonus to the already finest quality product is the star quality staff.. Helpful, interested, friendly, offering some of the best customer service I have experienced in this area. Kudos to the manager Heidi!!! Spent an hour with her one afternoon during a freak ice storm... No better place to be stuck than in the tasting room with her at the helm!!! If you are in the area or looking for a great addition to your personal bar... St Lawrence Spirits will not disappoint!

During a recent wine tasting at the vineyard, Heather did a great job explaining the wines, pacing the tastings, and recommending the options. I am a Wine Club member, which gives me an incentive to return often!!! A "must stop and taste" whenever you are in the Thousand Islands Region of New York!

Great place to stop for a tasting of various spirits! Great space inside with nice tasting bar, display cases, wine slushie machine, and various items for purchase. We stopped here for a late afternoon tasting and picked up a couple of slushies to drink sitting on our hotel balcony in Clayton overlooking the river. I definitely recommend it!

Beautiful State Park for camping. Pick a site near the St. Lawrence River to see the big ships, small watercraft, ducks, seagulls, and be in close proximity to the beach, Marina, and bathhouse. Pet friendly. As first time RV campers we were nervous. Our beagle loved it and we did too. Bikes and fishing poles are good to have too. Can’t wait to go back!
9. Zenda Farms Preserve
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7 reviews
Zenda was a dairy and beef farm that operated through the 1950s. Now, its agricultural history is preserved by the Thousand Islands Land Trust for future generations to discover, and its pastures and hay meadows are conserved for nesting grassland birds. Zenda is now the home of the annual Community Picnic at the beginning of the summer season, as well as numerous TILTreks, KidsTreks and often, TILTKids Camp. The MacFarlane Trail is open year-round to the public, dawn to dusk, and is dog friendly. TILT's management plan for the future of Zenda Farms is to establish the Preserve as a model for land conservation through community involvement and learning within its ecologically diverse and culturally historic farm setting."

In the spring the Preserve is filled with grasses and wonderful flowers coming up. Birds singing, as summer gets hotter, different flowers, grasses, birds. The Preserve has a well-maintained trail that is 1.5 miles one time around. If you want to go for a hike and don't want to worry about ticks walk the trail at the Preserve. It is absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite places to take pics as I walk.
