Hill Island
Spectacular views of the 1000 Islands await on Hill Island. In only 40 seconds, the elevator at the 1000 Islands Skydeck takes visitors to the first of three observation decks. The Skydeck is more than 400 feet high and provides a great photo opportunity of the 1000 Islands and the St. Lawrence River stretched out below. Completely wheelchair accessible. Also on the island, as you are headed towards US customs, your last stop in Canada is the 1000 Islands Duty Free store. Great savings and great selections.
The 1000 Islands Bridge was built in 1938 by Prime Minister William Mackenzie King and President Franklin Roosevelt. It took seven years to build and is 12 km long, crossing over two islands: Hill Island and Wellesley Island.
