About

Situated in the scenic Thousand Islands region along the Canada-US border, Dromedary Island is nestled southeast of Grenadier Island’s foot, offering a picturesque location between Cook and St. Helena Island. This island is part of the Front of Yonge municipality, which lies within the county of Leeds and Grenville in the province of Ontario, Canada. Its name evokes the image of a camel’s hump, hinting at its unique topography or shape.

Interestingly, Dromedary Island was once informally known as “Pear,” a name that perhaps reflects its shape or a characteristic that distinguished it in the past. The island’s exact position can be pinpointed to the two-minute box coordinates of 44°26′ latitude and 75°50′ longitude, a location that places it amidst the tranquil waters and lush landscapes that define this iconic archipelago. With its rich natural surroundings, Dromedary Island is a small yet significant part of the Thousand Islands’ enchanting tapestry.
