History lesson while enjoying a beautiful day and walk around this historic battlefield. It is well worth the hour or so to walk and read the placards placed around the paved pathways (beware of deer tick) and learn about our country's history. There is a fee to enter a couple of the buildings that have been or are being restored. We didn't find that we needed to do that though as we just enjoyed the walking, ready and the views.
Free parking, great for picnics and family time too!!

Celebrated our 6th Anniversary sailing with Captain Brett on Sail Ontario. It was the BEST DAY EVER!! I've never had more fun or laughed so hard!!! We brought some wine and snacks, and enjoyed the most special day in our marriage! This was a much needed retreat for us and I would HIGHLY recommend Sail Ontario! It was our first time ever on a sailboat and I hope we have a chance to go again before the season ends! Thank You for an amazing day!

After days of nonstop rain, the rapids on the Black River were about a class 5. Scott was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who was clear in his directions. He gave us several practice opportunities before we headed downstream so everyone knew what to do. All the people in our group, ages 14 to 56, had the time of their lives. I'm not sure if we can ever top this WWR trip -- at least not around this area. Thanks, Bob and crew, for this unforgettable experience!

Stopped by on a rainy day. Bought ice cream, a donut and a bag of popcorn. The place was empty but it was obviously an attraction for the general public. Ice cream was tasty, as was the donut. The popcorn was fine but let me pass on a bit of advice: if your customer orders popcorn and the fresh stuff is popping in the machine, don't reach over to the bowl of pre-made that's been hanging around for awhile to serve them. Especially when there's nobody there.

1000 island view yes, water clear yes, length of beach pretty good. If only the area for public swimming wasn't so small, and the lifeguards hadn't been trained to reduce risk to the point of ridiculousness. (No goggles, no flotations devices, no balls in or near swim area, no non approved life jackets). And people scrunched in on the approved beach area. So much more is possible at this easily accessible beach.

This is a lovely little town to walk. We enjoy just sitting and looking over the harbor.
Walking the town as well as the battlefield is a wonderful experience. There are a number of restaurants within walking distance of the visitors center.
Take a bike ride!

Stopped in for a tasting of their wines. The clerk behind the desk seemed irritated that we interrupted her. We asked about tastings and she barked "four dollars per person" and ducked her head under the counter. Not very welcoming at all.
