About

Old Man Island lies within the Thousand Islands region, nestled along the US-Canada border. This small island is part of the United States and falls under the jurisdiction of Morristown, a municipality in St. Lawrence County, New York. Situated north of Holmes Point on the US mainland and east of Skelton Island, which belongs to Canada, Old Man Island occupies a unique position in this famous archipelago known for its scenic beauty and historical significance.

The island’s coordinates, marked at 44°34’36” North latitude and 75°40’28” West longitude, place it firmly within the rich tapestry of islets and waterways that characterize the Thousand Islands. Though not widely known by any alternate names, Old Man Island remains a part of the intricate geography that defines this cross-border region. It resides in what is colloquially referred to as the “two-minute box” of 44°36′ x 75°40′, a reference often used for navigation and mapping in the area.
