Wolfe Island is one of the prettiest spots in the Thousand Islands.

Picturesque Wolfe Island sits at the entrance of the St Lawrence River and is easily accessible by a free ferry from neighbouring Kingston, Ontario. Wolfe Island is lovely any time of year, but in summer it is especially nice. Budget minded travelers will appreciate the scenic walks along the water, the safe, straight roads perfect for biking, the delightful bakery and nearby pubs and cafes. Best of all, there are plenty of unique photography opportunities!
Queuing up to board the ferry, which takes cars, bikes, and walk on passengers. Prepare to wait for an hour or so in summer.
Gorgeous, wide open spaces make this small island feel bigger than it is.
Colorful, small boats are plentiful on Wolfe Island.
This is what counts as "downtown" in Wolfe Island!

I highly recommend a day trip to Wolfe Island for anyone visiting the Kingston and Thousand Island area. It's an affordable, relaxed, and charming area to retreat to for a day (or maybe a weekend!) and emerge feeling rested and recharged.
As always, I welcome and encourage your comments. Have you ever been to Kingston or Wolfe Island? If you enjoyed this article, you'll also like: The $200 Challenge - Vermont Finding the Heart of a Village Within the City Celebrating Ottawa's Tulip Festival

Lovely photos! I went to Queen's for 3 years and never made it to Wolfe Island. I must make a point of visiting sometime!

Me too Lisa!! I went to Queen's and never made it over to Wolfe Island! I'm so glad I finally had a chance to visit - and rather sorry I never made it over there when I was a student!

What an amazing destination. It's amazing just how beautiful our Country is. I'm really hoping to make it over to the east coast (or just anywhere more east then Alberta) so I can explore more.
