Loop Life with Greg and Reenie: ADMIRALTY ISLANDS to LAKE FLEET ISLANDS

We departed Thwartway Island on Thursday morning, and headed North to the LAKE FLEET ISLAND group. We were nervous about getting a mooring at either Camelot Island or Endymion Island, as they are both popular destinations. It took us about 45 minutes to arrive and see that there was plenty of availability :)... We are happy that Fall is here and the busy summer demand for moorings has decreased in the Thousand Island National Parks.

Since there was not an issue with moorings, we decided to take a trip back to Gananoque for some supplies. We have been remote (No stores, restaurants...etc) since leaving Kingston and almost everything was closed on Labor Day when were in Gan on Monday.

We returned to the LAKE FLEET ISLAND group by 2 pm and had our choice of mooring cans! Both Islands are beautiful, Camelot has four mooring cans and Endymion has six. We decided on Endymion with a little extra space and a nice breeze. We stayed here for three nights and loved every moment!

The 1,864 Thousand Islands range in size from 40 square miles to smaller Islands occupied by a single house, or rocks that are only home to waterfowl. To be counted as an Island it must 1) Be above water level year round. 2) Have an area greater than one square foot. 3) Support at least one living tree. About 20 of these Islands form The Thousand Island National Park, the oldest of Canada's National Parks East of the Rocky Mountains. Our Annual Canadian Seasonal Mooring Permit is good here :)

Looper Tip: With weather and time permitting, if you secure a mooring on a Thursday night in the Thousand Islands stay put for the weekend...it gets crowded!
