Rockport

 

Location:  Leeds and Grenville County     N 44.37863   W -75.93340

At the foot of Front Street, right beside the boat launch.

Rockport is a busy tourist area known as the Heart of the 1000 Islands.  From here you can take a boat tour of the famous islands along the St. Lawrence River or indulge in some fine dining in the nearby restaurants.  This is definitely a very pretty and popular place to visit, surely worth spending some time here. If you look carefully among the tourist distractions, you can find this small memorial dedicated to the four local men who gave their lives in World War II.  This is a very historic area, first settled over 200 years ago and it has enjoyed a rich boat building in keeping with its key location along the river.
