Love the relaxation of being on the island and by the waterside. 8/15/2019

Our site was GORGEOUS. The lake was absolutely beautiful. Check in was a breeze, we ordered pizza that was delivered to our site and it was great. Our only complaint was that we tried to rent kayaks and it was really disorganized... 8/15/2019

Stayed on the sunrise side and the view was spectacular. Cable did not work although there was pretty decent WIFI available. Bathroom and shower facilities were sub-par. They need to clean the bugs off the windows and outside walls of the buildings. that was a real turn-off. 8/14/2019

It was our first visit here, loved it! 8/14/2019

Lake Ontario provides thrilling boating experiences for speed boats and sailing boats and windsurfing. In the early to mid 1970's, Association Island was the training facility for the US Sailing Team and was the center of numerous national and international sailing and windsurfing competitions, particularly leading up to the 1976 Montreal Olympics. As one of the Great Lakes, be prepared for fast-changing wind and wave conditions. Less experienced boaters should stay in the calmer Henderson Bay side of Association Island. Association Island does not yet rent out any motor boats or sailboats. Several of the local marinas rent out boats, but availability is limited so you should make plans well in advance. Also, there are several local licensed captains who will provide boat tours of Henderson Bay by the hour or half-day.
