Castle on the Water: A Thousand-Islands Pilgrimage to Boldt Castle

Board a boat, cross a busy shipping channel, and step onto Heart Island to explore a castle built as a love letter and left unfinished for decades. This is river travel at its most cinematic—easy to reach, rich in history, and perfect for a summer day trip.
