If you already own a boat, it is presumed that you are familiar with boat handling, marine navigation, and rules of the waterways. Nevertheless, if you've never boated in the 1000 Islands before, you will find that this area presents its own unique set of challenges. As with all boating you will want to make sure that your boat is in good operating condition and all standard stafety procedures are being followed. Canadian Hydrographic Chart 1437 will be the appropriate map to use. River currents in the area can be deceiving, and it is not unusual to have 20ft of water under your transom while your bow is sitting on rock. The difficulty rating is based on requiring a boat and navigating the 1000 Islands waterways.
