Waddington, New York is a quiet historic Victorian village,
uniquely situated for a peaceful, rural vacation along one of the world’s
largest and most picturesque rivers with its prime fishing spots, yet
within a short drive of large shopping facilities, the beautiful
Thousand Islands, the majestic Adirondack Mountains and major Canadian
cities. Waddington is located directly on the St. Lawrence River about midway
between the city of Ogdensburg and the village of Massena, both about 15
miles away. Further up the St. Lawrence, past Ogdensburg, is the
Thousand Islands region including historic Boldt Castle at Alexandria
Bay. Waddington is also located about 15 miles from the villages of
Potsdam and Canton, the home of four institutions of higher learning
including Clarkson University, St. Lawrence University and the State
University Colleges at Potsdam and Canton. Just beyond to the south are
the majestic Adirondacks Mountains. It’s only a short distance across
the St. Lawrence River to major Canadian cities such as Ottawa (the
nation’s capital), Montreal, Toronto and others.
