The Saint Lawrence River is crossed by the American-maintained Thousand Islands International Bridge, which links northern New York with southeast Ontario. The bridge is known by its French name, Pont des Mille-Îles. The bridges, built in 1937, span the Canada-US border in the midst of the Thousand Islands region.
Boldt Castle was built as a memorial to millionaire hotel entrepreneur George C. Boldt's adored wife Louise. Boldt Castle was created as their summer dream residence. A castle to rival those of Europe, erected in the middle of the 1000 Islands. Mrs. Boldt, however, died unexpectedly just months before the castle's completion. Mr. Boldt was distraught and promptly halted all work, leaving the site unoccupied for nearly seventy years.
The 1000 Islands Tower is a concrete observation tower on Hill Island, which is essentially on the US-Canada border but is actually in Ontario rather than New York State. The tower, which was built in 1965, offers panoramic views of both nations' Thousand Islands.
Zavikon Island is home to the world's shortest international bridge (32 feet in length). It connects a Canadian island to an American island in the midst of the Saint Lawrence River. The boundary agreement drafted by Canada and the United States states that no island can be divided into two territories. Canada owns two-thirds of the islands, however the overall area of the Canadian islands is almost equivalent to the American territory.
