  • In the Famous 1000 Islands (Year Round Availability & Access)
    The Kelly Cottage In the Famous 1000 Islands (year round availability & access) Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane, Minutes to Kingston & Gananoque (near public Golf Courses & Charity Casino) 1 Welcome to Howe Island … or as the locals say, Welcome to ‘The Island’. Howe Island is a 31 km² island located in the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, Ontario, is part of the Thousand Islands chain and measures approximately 13 km X 5 km. Originally named Ka-ou-enesegoan by local Iroquois and later Isle Cauchois after its first French owners who took possession in 1685, it became known as Howe Island on July 16th, 1792 , supposedly named after George Augustus, Lord Howe. There is some evidence that it was once called St. John's. There is no evidence of any permanent inhabitation until 1810 by a man named William Casey. In the following four decades successive waves of settlers brought many of the island's long standing families who still live or own land there. The population currently numbers approximately 300 residents, although this figure doubles in the summer months when recreational properties are occupied. Two, year- round ferry services connect ‘The Island’ to the mainland. Main Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest Kingston 15 cars on demand; 24 hrs/day 7 days/week; year round East Island Ferry (4 min. trip) – closest to Gananoque 3 cars on demand; 7 days/week 6:00 am – 12:45 am *on demand = no scheduled times; simply arrive @ Ferry dock on either side for pickup. 2 Driving Directions to Howe Island, 41 Pickett’s Lane From West Highway 401East to Exit 632 Joyceville turn right; cross Hwy 2; proceed to Howe Island Ferry dock.

Program Funding For 2016/2017, a Canada-Ontario Agreement (COA) funding request of $48,000.00 was placed by Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), Kingston Field Office. The funding request was approved and provided the program with a rental truck, program equipment and staffing dollars to operate until March 31, 2016. This application was a multi-year application and therefore requiring confirmation by MNRF Kingston District annually for continued support in seeking COA funding. It should be noted that the COA request of $48,000.00 was subject to HST per MNRF/DUC agreement; therefore DUC was obligated to charge $5522.12 in HST per agreement.

    Breathtaking scenery and excit- ing shore-side communities make this region an ideal cruising route for all boaters The St. Lawrence River and 1000 Islands region draws thousands of boaters each season because it’s unlike any other waterway in Canada. Scattered islands, isolated anchor- ages, wide open cruising and histor- ic, shore-side communities all await those who plot a course here. Situated at the eastern end of Lake Ontario, Kingston is the largest centre in this area with plenty to do. Vast in history, the former capital’s insightful past can be observed in a number of the local museums. Kingston is also known as the fresh water sailing capital of Canada. Steady winds and open water as well as the proximity of large harbours attract many sailing events throughout the season.
