“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” – Heraclitus Clayton, NY, was established in 1833. It became a major tourist hub in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the arrival of the railroad. This led to the development of grand hotels and a steamship line, making it the gateway to the Thousand Islands resort region. Today, Clayton remains a significant cultural and historical center, known for its Antique Boat Museum, the Thousand Islands Museum and its amazing location on the St. Lawrence River. It’s known as the “Gateway to the Thousand Islands” and with its 15 miles of shoreline it’s a major destination for fishing, boating and sightseeing. 
We’ve been to Clayton by car three times and by boat several times in 2012 and 2018. We truly love this little town and enjoy just hanging out taking in the beauty.
