Carleton Island, River island in Saint Lawrence River, New York.

The Carleton Island extends across the Saint Lawrence River with rocky shores, forested areas, and the remains of historical fortifications.

British forces constructed Fort Haldimand on the island during the American Revolutionary War, using it as a naval station and military supply point.

The Wyckoff Villa, constructed in 1894, represents the architectural style of late 19th-century summer residences along the Saint Lawrence River.

Visitors can reach the island only by private boat, as no public ferry service operates between the mainland and Carleton Island.

William Wyckoff spent only one night in his mansion on the island before his death, following his wife's passing just one month earlier.
