Description

Located in the Niagara River north of Fort Erie, this island has seen a lot of history—starting with its first native inhabitants some 10,000 years ago to its 1945 suggestion as a site for the United Nations headquarters. Administered by the Niagara Parks Commission, the island is home to numerous wildlife species. The island offers fishing, camping and bird-watching. One warning: when walking through the island's raspberry bushes and grape vines, keep an eye out for poison ivy. Camping permits are mandatory and can be obtained at the Niagara Parks Police Office.
