Boat tours from both the U.S. and Canada stop at Heart Island. Extensive docking is available for private pleasure craft. A shuttle from Heart Island provides access to the Boldt Castle Yacht House.
It is likely that this structure may have actually been modeled off of a temporary tower built in the Alster River Basin in Hamburg, Germany in 1895 for Kaiser Wilhelm’s celebratory grand opening of the Kiel Canal.
After several years of stabilization, the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority opened the Alster Tower again to the public in 2014; complete with protective sea walls, new windows, total masonry re-pointing, roofing and landscaping. here
Boldt Castle will remain open until 7:30pm on Independence Day Weekend on Saturday, July 3rd and Sunday, July 4th and remain open until 7:30pm on Labor Day Weekend on Saturday, September 4th and Sunday, September 5th.
