A beautiful little gem! Beautiful views, plenty of picnic tables, restrooms, a playground, informative signs, and two pairs of binoculars. I'm already looking forward to more picnics there! Beware of a wasp nest in the ground and the strong smell of dead fish among the rocks.

This little point looks out over the outlet of Tonawanda Creek, where it first merges into the Little River and then, together, the two waters merge into the Tonawanda Channel of the Niagara River. From here you have your choice of two different riverwalks: The Eerie Canalway Trail to the east, which runs upstream along Tonawanda Creek; and the Shoreline Trail which runs southwest along the Niagara River.
