Thanks - Sharon. The site is actually very close to the USA; less than 1 mile / 1.6 km from the USA / Canada border; the very North-Eastern corner of Upper New York State.
During the daylight hours, the USA makes up most of the background when looking south over the St Lawrence River. There are usually many cars from the USA in the parking lot during the summer.
The St Lawrence Parks Commission has been very creative in some of what it does outside of the normal "tourist season" with some of its properties. They do a lovely job with Christmas lights around the Village in December (I expect I will be back with camera and tripod in the middle of December). Fort Henry in Kingston, Canada (another site operated by the Park Commission) does some interesting things too.
