06 Thousand Islands Park and Boldt Castle

Thousand Islands Park is every Instagrammer's dream. Located all the way upstate on the border of New York and Canada, the park is made up of thousands of small islands. Take a cruise and visit all the heritage sites. One stop you don't want to miss is Boldt Castle. You'll swear you're in Europe when you gaze up at the truly magnificent and strangely out-of-place castle. The St. Lawrence River is the perfect backdrop for the 16th century-inspired building.
