The Thousand Islands International Bridge, also known as the Pont des Mille-Îles, is a network of international bridges over the Saint Lawrence River that links together northern New York with southeast Ontario. The bridges span the Canada-US border in the midst of the Thousand Islands region and were built in 1937.
Boldt Castle was built in 1900 as a memorial to millionaire hotel entrepreneur George C. Boldt's adored wife Louise. Boldt Castle was created as their summer getaway. A European-style castle erected in the middle of the Thousand Islands. Mrs. Boldt, on the other hand, died unexpectedly just months before the castle was finished. Mr. Boldt was distraught and promptly halted all building, leaving the property unoccupied for more than seventy years.
On Hill Island, which is essentially on the U.S.-Canada border but is technically in Ontario rather than New York State, there is a concrete observation tower called the 1000 Islands Tower. The tower, which was built in 1965, affords panoramic views of both countries' Thousand Islands.
Zavikon Island is home to the world's shortest international bridge (32 feet long). In the middle of the Saint Lawrence River, it connects a Canadian island to an American one. The boundary agreement that Canada and the United States drafted states that no island can be divided into two territories. Although Canada owns two-thirds of the islands, the overall area of the Canadian islands is about equal to the American territory.
