The Thousand Islands have provided ample opportunity to anchor in quiet, uncrowded bays and still have direct access to the offerings on the different islands. From the water, it is impossible, sometimes, to tell that you can reach the same site by car!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousand Island Park, Wellesley Island<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thousand Island Park is a small summer enclave on Wellesley Island whose story is the same as Oaks Bluff on Martha’s Vineyard: a Methodist summer tent camp which has evolved into a Victorian cottage community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original lighthouse is the structure above the gray “belt”. It was first located behind the keeper’s cottage \ud83d\ude44. It was relocated to the edge of Rock Island (so it was actually visible) and placed on the base you see in this picture in 1903. The mystery is how… there is not even one record of this work being done.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
