Be sure to bring your fishing gear and stop and get a license if you're going to the Thousand Islands...you'll need two if you plan on fishing on the Canadian side, too. I have land up there, and lived on the NY side for over 11 years. The fishing is incredible there...as is the hiking, boating, swimming, all things outdoors. I really miss it. I get up maybe once a year in October, when it's too cold to do much but hike. I discovered it while camping on Wellesley Island with friends back in the 70's. I used to camp in the Adirondacks - Blue Mtn Lake area - but the acid rain hit the fishing there pretty hard. I spent 8 hours fishing one day and only caught one brown trout...lunch. So, enjoy the trip. It's worth it. There are plenty of State Parks, there, too...but they're usually booked solid...the year before! And, for photographers, it's splendid.
