Cape Vincent, New York a small town at the point where Lake Ontario and the waters of the Great Lakes squeeze into the St. Lawrence River on it’s way to the Atlantic.
A quaint, deeply historic town with a beautiful lighthouse and an annual gathering of the Kingston Outdoor Adventure Club. The Lighthouse, or at least one of the buildings is currently used as a hostel and that is where the group gathered for a weekend in mid-June.
The town was first explored in the 17th century by French explorers and missionaries. At that time it was home to the Onondaga people. Modern settlement began in 1801 at Millens Bay.
