Welcome to Clayton...

Clayton is the quintessential river village, a jewel of a peninsula surrounded by the magnificent St. Lawrence River, nestled along the northern edge of upstate New York and minutes from the Canadian border. Come and soak up the small town atmosphere. You’ll find quaint shops and galleries, nationally known museums, and outdoor activities ranging from fishing to golfing, kayaking to hiking, all within walking distance.

There are a variety of accommodations available in Clayton. Stay in a charming bed and breakfast right in the Village, or try camping at one of the scenic state

parks or local campgrounds that line the river. Pamper yourself at a luxury resort, settle in at

a friendly family motel or spend the week in one of many cottages located along

the river shores that will leave you refreshed and ready for another busy day on the river.

We invite you to join us for a fun-filled family vacation, a romantic getaway, or an international adventure. We promise an

experience you’ll always remember, in a glorious setting you’ll never

forget!

Clayton’s tradition of charm and hospitality began more than a century ago when the 1000 Islands Region was the playground of the nation’s most powerful. Now that tradition is embraced by a new generation of visitors... a tradition we invite you to experience firsthand.

After you arrive, your first stop should be the Chamber of Commerce in the heart of the village on historic Riverside Drive. The friendly staff will answer all of your questions and help with maps, guides and anything else you need. With so many choices, your mostdifficult decision will be where to begin!

Why not start with a Museum? Clayton is home to three, including the Antique Boat Museum. Visitors can stroll amidst the Museum’s priceless collection of over 350 boats including the elegantly furnished 106’ Gilded-Age houseboat “La Duchesse.”

Around the Town...Enjoy a speedboat ride in a

triple cockpit mahogany runabout or take up

the oars yourself in a wooden skiff and explore the waterfront of Clayton.

The Antique Boat Museum welcomes

the public to Oar, Paddle & Sail Nights hosted

throughout the summer. The first weekend in August the Annual Antique Boat Show and Auction is held and draws exhibitors and vendors from around the world. Boat Building classes, entertaining educational programs for children and special family activities are also available. Before leaving make sure you check out the Museum Store and pick up a nautical keepsake.

The Thousand Islands Arts Center, Home of the Handweaving Museum located in a historic village building on John Street, brings the visual arts alive in the 1000 Islands through art instruction and exhibitions.

The Arts Center also offers a variety of classes from painting, weaving, stained glass and jewelry making to making your own pottery in the pottery studio open year-round. Tour their gallery of ever changing exhibitions such as “The Art of Winter” that showcases the work of local artists or pieces from the Museum’s permanent collection of hand-woven textiles and rare spinning and weaving tools.

The Thousand Islands Arts Center hosts special events throughout the year including an Annual Craft Show, and the Antique Show & Sale, celebrating its 51st year this summer. Just around the corner on James St. is the Thousand Islands Museum. The TI Museum is famous for decoys, muskies and the rich heritage of river life.

The Museum gallery offers a history of life along the St. Lawrence River from yesteryear and a new archival library is open to the public to research river heritage. You can also learn more about Clayton’s colorful past at the popular “History at Noon” programs.

Make sure to check out the St. Lawrence Tartan, the Museum’s trademark. The greens represent the cedars along the shore, the blues are the shades of the St. Lawrence River, and the red signifies the sunset over the islands.

Annually the Museum hosts the Decoy & Wildlife Art Show & Auction. The show includes hunting decoy contests as well as an auction. Works of art by well-known artists from all of the United States and Canada are

displayed for purchase.

The Clayton Opera House located on

Riverside Drive recently underwent a $3.2 million renovation project and now operates as a year-

round facility.

The 1903 building is now air conditioned, fully

Clayton was literally built with that in mind. Most of downtown was constructed in the late 19th century to meet the needs of shoppers coming from both land and water.

Be sure to look up while you stroll our main streets. The upper stories share attractive architectural features - window crowns, and cast-iron cornices. If you are interested in architecture, be sure to pop into the Chamber of Commerce for their historic walking tour map. It’s a self-guided passport into the intriguing history and charm of Clayton’s commercial buildings, homes and churches.

The natural beauty of the St. Lawrence River has inspired artists for centuries, so its no wonder that Clayton is home to a number of galleries.

Corbin’s River Heritage Shop houses a huge collection of historical photographs and books of the 1000 Islands. Whether your taste runs to watercolor paintings or period photographs, you’re certain to find something you’ll love.

Art galleries are just the beginning. A leisurely stroll down our main streets brings you to an array of unique shops including clothing boutiques as well as shops offering 1000 Islands collectibles to take home as a keepsake.

Take home a taste of the 1000 Islands from one of several gourmet food emporiums including “River Rat” Cheese, Bechaz Riverdale Cheese, or a bottle of the famous “Original” Thousand Islands Dressing that was created right here.

Perhaps you’d like to tour one our local wineries. Clayton’s climate combined with the constant moisture flow from the St. Lawrence River is a perfect match for growing cold hardy grape vines.

There is no better way to experience the beauty of the St. Lawrence River than from the bow of a boat. The spray in your face- the wind in your hair- it’s a feeling like no other. The magnificence of the sparkling water, set off by the picturesque islands, offers a potent reminder of why the 1000 Islands has been the choice of vacationers from around the world. Take off and try tubing, head out on water skies, explore the islands, and stop for a quick swim or a picnic.

Be sure to bring your own boat. Clayton makes it easy to get your boat into the water. The Village provides a public launch and docking at many points along the river including a 200-foot floating dock complex in front of the Village. Clayton also has a number of well-equipped full service marinas where you can buy gas, supplies, dock

for the evening, or rent watercraft ranging from small fishing boats to pontoon “party boats”.

If you don’t have your own boat, you can enjoy the guided pleasures of a boat tour. The scenic vessels leave Clayton throughout the day and travel beneath the 1000 Islands Bridge to near-by Alexandria Bay, romantic Boldt Castle and around the islands into Canada. Cruises also take passengers to Rock Island Lighthouse. You’ll learn about Clayton’s colorful past filled with bootleggers, pirates and local “river rats”.

Perhaps you would prefer a private, personalized tour

where you can try a day of “rivering” with a local guide on his private boat. With just your own friends and family aboard, your tour can be as personalized

as you like.

Northern pike, walleye, bass, perch, panfish and the elusive trophy muskellunge continue to challenge fisherman from all over the country and attract professional fishing tournaments year after year.

The St. Lawrence River is one of the premier diving sites in the country, and Clayton boasts the first natural features dive park in the Thousand Islands. Underwater enthusiasts will want to dive right into the clear waters of the St. Lawrence River to explore many

wrecks that rest on the riverbed. The crystal clear water provides breathtaking access to the natural beauty just meters beneath the surface. The water clarity provides excellent underwater visibility. Horizontal visibility of 50-70 feet at 100-foot depths is not unusual. The River is the resting place of hundreds of shipwrecks, some dating back to the late 1700’s.

The strong current found in some areas of the St Lawrence River creates excellent drift conditions for those who seek artifacts. There is no thermo cline in this area, allowing for very comfortable diving temperatures from May through October. Both novice and expert divers will find a piece of paradise in Clayton. Several dive businesses in the area can provide services for divers.

Prefer to stay a little closer to the surface? Snorkeling is popular, due to the River’s amazing water clarity. Kayaking is very popular in Clayton,
