The 1885 400-acre park is the oldest state park in the US. It provides tremendous views of the falls and supports habitats for plants and animals. Several of these are: Goat Island, Green Island, Three Sister Islands, and unnamed islands above the f alls (heron rookery). Known for its overlooks of the cataract, as well as the upper and lower Niagara River, it is also ecologically vital, especially for water birds. The visitor center has electronic exhibit relating to the falls and attractions.
