We are off to Odgensburg NY Municipal Marina for Wed night.

Then Cornwall PQ, Bay at Francois PQ, then we take a right at Sorel Tracy PQ for the Richeleau River Canal to Lake Champlain to Albany.

If you visit here do not miss the video & theatre that give a concise history of this amazing place. DVDs are available in the gift shop for the same content.

The castle’s story is a healthy mix of tragedy and romance… and it is certainly historically significant.

It was a very worthwhile stop for us. We were there from 10:30am to 1:30. The snack bar + ice cream stop on the docks came in handy.

There IS an elevator for the castle’s 4 floors, and they have wheelchairs for those who need them AND golf carts to bring folks up to the castle from the docks if needed.

The first & second floors are incredibly restored. Third and fourth show construction / work-in-progress AND offer great views of this magnificent 1000 Islands Area of North America. (Yes, the snack bar has garden salads with 1000 Island dressing.) Hot Dogs, burgers, pizza, wraps, etc.
