The Three Sisters Islands in the Niagara River are a nice place to view the current and cataracts, as the water starts to tumble down a slope just before plunging over the Horseshoe Falls. This stone arch bridge is the pedestrian access to the islands, and forms a quaint tableau in this incredible setting.
There is an unusual design feature here: the walls along the sides of the bridge are topped with unfinished small boulders from the river channel.
