As you know if you follow my blog, we live on an Island surrounded by the Niagara River. The river is fed by Lake Erie and eventually goes over Niagara Falls.
This is an aerial view of our Island, Grand Island. The little Island up in the left hand corner is Navy Island which is owned by Canada and is an uninhabited island. The white spot in the left corner is Niagara Falls.
You can see why I love where we live.
This morning I took an early morning walk before heading into work. I walked in the city of Tonawanda, which is across the bridges from our island.
This is the large hotel located on Grand Island. It’s a pretty view if you stay on the side facing the river. The towers in the background are for a local TV station located on the island.
At one point I came across this funny little decorated post. It gave me a morning laugh for sure! Whoever took the time to decorate it did a great job!
There are informative pieces of information scattered about the walkway which share a bit of the history of Grand Island and the Niagara River.
There are little walkways built over the water where you can really appreciate the beauty of the river.
On the way back these seagulls lined the bridge as I walked over. Only one was brave enough to stay and watch me without flying off! Only one pole I saw marked and ironically it had one of my favorite numbers on it! #28 is my son’s hockey number and our favorite player #Zemgus Girgensons from the Buffalo Sabres!!!
This bridge and walking trail is beautiful any season for walking!
It was a very chilly walk along the river today. I love being surrounded by the water and when the weather is warm this is my favorite spot to be, floating on our boat watching the sun set!

Such a beautiful walk!!!
It sure is and stress relieving too lol
I was born and raised in North Tonawanda, I moved away just after high school graduation. I have been back just once in 40 years, Grand Island was beautiful when I lived in Western New York. Nice to see that it still is. Your photos brought back wonderful memories to me, thank you for your beautiful post.
You’re welcome. You can see not much has changed since you left 🙂
What a nice virtual walk for me this morning. Thanks! 🙂
