Here is the Canadian Border Security information site with information on how to report in when you arrive in Canada.
http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5061-eng.html
I think this only applies to when you set foot on land, but call the number and ask for clarification on that detail.

As for ID requirements, this is what they say;
"If you are a citizen of the United States, you do not need a passport to enter Canada. However, you should carry proof of your citizenship, such as a birth certificate, certificate of citizenship or naturalization, as well as photo identification."

I t amy be a bit out of the way but when you are heading for the 1000 islands, if you pass north of Wolf Island you will pass Old Fort Henry http://www.forthenry.com/home.htm
They fire off a black powder cannon over looking Deadman bay several times a day as part of the show. It's pretty startling from Cedar island if you are not ready for the boom to break the peace and quiet.
Website shows cannon Blasts at; 11:50AM 3:10PM 4:50PM

They require u to have either a passport or advanced drivers liscence now. Birth cert. and other IDs just don't cut it now.

Glad u had fun on your trip. I just went there myself but, didn't get to do much on the water because of hurricane Irene.

The Main Duck island is on the way and a great place to stay(limited docking, may have to anchor depending). There are a lot of marinas that have dockage that offer cabins but individual island I don't know of any. I would spend some time online and see what you can find.
