In 1909 the Thousand Islands ran on two seasons. Summer brought hotel guests and cottage families to the rocky shores, but winter froze the channels, and islanders crossed the ice on foot and by horse-drawn sled to reach the mainland. Cutting and storing river ice was a hard winter job that kept island households and summer hotels supplied through the warm months. Men who worked the ice often turned to guiding, caretaking, or boatbuilding once the thaw opened the water, so the year for many island families was measured by ice and open water rather than by the vacation calendar.
