Fodor's Review:

A joint project of the American and the Canadian governments, Roosevelt Campobello International Park is crisscrossed with interesting hiking trails. Eagle Hill Bog has a wooden walkway and signs identifying rare plants. Neatly manicured Campobello Island has always had a special appeal for the wealthy and famous. It was here that President Franklin Roosevelt and his family spent summers. The 34-room Roosevelt Cottage was presented to Eleanor and Franklin as a wedding gift, and the wicker-filled structure looks essentially as it did when the family was in residence. A visitor center has displays about the Roosevelts and Canadian-American relations. Note that the Islands are on Atlantic Time, which is an hour later than EST.
