The Purple House Cafe
165 Main StWood-fired pizza in a garden! Delightful.
Take out pizza if you just don't want to cook. Cheap eats otherwise too if you're on a budget and just need to fill your tummy.

Need wifi? The Skiff Cafe at the Ivy Lea Club (public welcome!) has great coffee, ice cream and even a small grocery zone. Their second floor 'clubhouse' offers lots of seating and board games, and isn't overrun by tourists! (Seasonal only)

Entertainment & Activities
Thousand Islands Playhouse

Five unique trails. One of the best viewpoints in the region is from the cliff-top Landon Bay Lookout, an easy ½ km. woodland walk from the recreation area within the Landon Bay Centre. On a clear day, you can see up and down the island-jewelled river, and see the steep rolling hills of the Adirondack Mountains. The trail to the lookout meanders through rich woodlands, so ecologically rich that the path passes through a study plot of the Smithsonian Institute.

Just around the corner! Much of the trail is on or near exposed bedrock, which is part of the Canadian Shield. Marble Rock Conservation Area gives hikers challenging and picturesque terrain, featuring breathtaking views at the lookouts along both the North and South Trails. The diversity of the biosphere is evident at Marble Rock Conservation Area which is rich with flora and fauna. Deer, otter, beaver, blue heron, grouse, frogs, interesting insects and wild turkeys can be seen along the trail. Wildflowers, fungi, mushrooms, lichens, mosses, ferns and many species of trees including mature birch are sights to be seen throughout the conservation area.
