Dark Island, Thousand Islands Travel Guide

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving to Dark Island from central Thousand Islands, start by heading east on Route 12 toward Alexandria Bay. Continue on Route 12 until you reach the town of Hammond. Once in Hammond, use local roads to navigate towards the waterfront where you can find boat access points. Look for signs indicating boat launches or ferry services to Dark Island. Note that there isn't direct car access to Dark Island, so you will need to park your car at the launch point and take a boat, which may incur a fee for parking.

• Public Transportation

  If you're relying on public transportation, start by taking a bus to the town of Hammond. Check local bus schedules for routes serving the Thousand Islands area. Once you arrive in Hammond, you will need to find transportation to the waterfront. This could be a taxi or a rideshare service. After reaching the waterfront, look for boat services that operate trips to Dark Island, as there are no direct public transport options to the island itself. Be prepared for potential costs associated with both the taxi and the boat service.

• Boat

  The most direct way to reach Dark Island is by boat. From the waterfront in Hammond, you can find ferry services that run to Dark Island. Make sure to check the ferry schedule ahead of time, as they may have limited hours of operation. The cost for a round-trip ferry ticket typically ranges from $10 to $20, depending on the service. Ensure you arrive at the boat launch at least 15 minutes before departure.
