Just how many islands are there in the Thousand Islands region, and what counts as an island?
The Thousand Islands region (along the St. Lawrence Seaway between Ontario, Canada and New York State, US) actually has 1,864 islands, according to various tourism websites. In order to be part of the official count, an island must remain above water all year round and has to support two trees or shrubs.
Most islands are actually large enough to support private cottages and residences, and both Canada and the US have national or state parks open to tourists.
