Cape VinCent “Where Lake & River Meet”

by Rev. Robert D. Egby

CAPE VINCENT: JEWEL OF THE THOUSAND ISLANDS

WATCHING THE BIG SHIPS Ship-watching is another attraction for visitors. On most days one can see giant lakers and ocean-going vessels making their way into or out of the Great Lakes. And between them you’ll likely see Horne’s Ferry. Cape Vincent is an official port of entry from early May to mid October. The only auto/passenger ferry across the St. Lawrence River departs from the ferry dock almost hourly. The ferry connects Cape Vincent with Wolfe Island, Ontario, Canada. A short drive across the island connects visitors with another ferry to the historic city of Kingston. Visitors should ensure they have the correct government issued identity documents when planning to visit Canada or the United States. And this includes children.

Visitors can enjoy great boating on the St. Lawrence and through the 1000 Islands. Many boaters are completely unaware that scores of historic wrecks of ships have their last resting place on the bed of the St. Lawrence. Underwater diving is taught in Cape Vincent and scuba divers preparing to explore the clear waters can often be seen at the riverside park at the east end of the village.

STAYING FOR A WHILE? Cape Vincent School is on Esselstyne Street in Cape Vincent. This elementary school is in the Thousand Islands Central School District. The Thousand Islands High School is close to Route 12E midway between Cape Vincent and Clayton. You can find out more about schools by going to www.1000islandsschools.org.

Getting to Cape Vincent is a breeze. The highways are excellent. If you are coming from the south on Interstate 81 take exit 46 and follow the signs to “Cape Vincent.” If you have a GPS navigator the zip code for the Cape is 13618. If you are coming from Canada over the International Bridge, take the 12E exit for Clayton through to the Cape. If you are coming from Canada, the Kingston-Wolfe-Cape Vincent ferry drops you right in the village center.

Information on Cape Vincent is as close as your browser. Click on www.capevincent.org and you’ll get information on places to shop, restaurants, places to stay, village services, marinas and lots of photos. If you have questions, email thecape@tds.net and we will get right back to you.

The almost 200 year-old Tibbetts Point Lighthouse is a “must see” for visitors and some 10,000 people each year enjoy wandering the grounds, viewing distant islands and ships through the telescope or browsing through items in the Visitor’s Center, Museum and Gift Shop. The former Light Keeper’s Quarters are now the home of Hostelling International and during summer months people from all over the world can be seen staying there.

Tibbetts Lighthouse, the stone houses in the village and the many scenic waterscapes make great subjects for artists, photographers and plain sight-seeing. Right in the center of the village overlooking the river is The Breakwater Gallery where visitors can attend classes or view the many paintings and photographs on display. If you take a great photo, send it in to the Cape Vincent Chamber of Commerce’s annual photo contest.

Fine eating establishments for all tastes can be found in and around Cape Vincent. Motels, B&Bs and Cottages most with great scenic views are located on the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. Many of these units are equipped with housekeeping facilities. Two New York State Parks are located on the river a short distance from the village and offer spectacular sights.

A late season event is the new Cape Vincent Oktoberfest.

The first event drew hundreds of visitors from far and wide to be entertained by the Bavarian Band, traditional dancers and singers. Of course there are steins, beers and wines from local vineyards, plus bratwursts, lots of good food plus vendors.

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD

A PLACE FOR ARTISTS

w w w .wc a w p e vwi n .c ecn t a. o rpg e

Cape Vincent is great for fishing, hunting, camping, cruising, water sports including scuba diving, hiking and ATV, history and sightseeing. It’s also a great place for artists so bring easels, oils and pastels and cameras too!

If you look at the map of Lake Ontario where it flows into the great St. Lawrence River and Seaway, the village is right where the two meet. Its famous lighthouse built in 1827 stands as a sentinel over the meeting.

The village in northern New York State has a strong French heritage. Napoleon Bonaparte was to have settled in Cape Vincent, seeking refuge after the wars in Europe. Army veterans and evacuees from France settled in the area and were major contributors to the growth and identity of the region. The village celebrates its history with a colorful French Festival held the 2nd Saturday in July. Thousands gather to witness spectacular entertainment and fireworks, music by visiting bands, browse the scores of crafters booths and displays, and watch the annual parades.

The village and region abound in old stone buildings, a mark of the European settlers. In fact you can learn more about the village’s glorious past by visiting the Cape Vincent Historical Museum, which itself occupies an elegant stone building. The Museum’s home served as a barracks for soldiers during the War of 1812.

Cape Vincent being between Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River makes it an ideal place for fishermen. If the Lake waters turn rough as they occasionally do, fishermen move into the sheltered waters of the St. Lawrence. What do they catch?

You can take your pick of Atlantic and Chinook “King” Salmon, Brown Trout, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Steelhead, Walleye, Yellow Perch, bullheads and crappies.

Professional fishing guides equipped with modern and safety inspected charter boats are ready, willing and able to take you on an exciting and memorable fishing expedition to “catch the big one.”

Nearby in Cape Vincent there is a restored gristmill in which visitors can explore the underwater life of the 1000 Islands in an impressive aquarium which is open from May to October. It’s part of the New York State’s Department of Environmental Conservation’s Fisheries Research Station based in the village.

This venerable stone structure was used as a barracks to house soldiers during the War of 1812. Later on, the Forsythe Brothers manufactured ironwork for sailing vessels and cookstoves during its days as a foundry and machine shop. It has also served as a Town Barn and the Chamber of Commerce offices.

In May of 1992, the Museum was dedicated.
