Cape Vincent is located close to where the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario meet. The town has a strong French heritage with a historical museum and an aquarium that features the underwater life of the 1000 islands. The only auto ferry across the St. Lawrence River to Canada departs from Cape Vincent.
If you are coming here to fish, this is a great area to start from since it gives you quick access out to the mouth of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River.
