1000 Islands

One brochure says 1793 Islands another says
1846. That’s far more than 1000, eh? An island is just an island. Not so. According to the local officials both Canadian and American to qualify it must have at least two acres in area with at least one tree on it to qualify as an authentic 1000 island. We saw many non-islands on our three hour boat trip. Below is a great 1000 island probably the most famous, Heart Island with .the Boldt boat house and its unfinished castle. Worth the trip to see it. This is great fishing country for the great muskies. We saw plenty of fishermen on this trip Back in town we saw the giant muskie .sculpture. The guide said that the world’s record was caught here - over 30 pounds! Recently two muskinonges were caught at this spot - 12 and 10 pounds respectively. Boggles the mind.
An island is an island is an island. Not so. Look back above. That’s no island according to the 1000 islanders in 2007.
