Heart Island, River island near Alexandria, United States.

Heart Island stands in the Saint Lawrence River, forming part of the Thousand Islands archipelago along the Canada-United States border in Jefferson County.

The island gained recognition in the early 1900s when George C. Boldt initiated the construction of a grand residence as a dedication to his wife Louise.

The island maintains its position as a significant destination within the Saint Lawrence region, drawing visitors to explore its architectural elements and river surroundings.

Visitors can reach Heart Island through scheduled boat services that depart regularly from multiple points along the Saint Lawrence River during the navigation season.

The natural formation of the island displays a distinct heart shape, which influenced its naming and contributed to its recognition among the Thousand Islands.
