Goat Island is renowned for its stunning views of the Niagara Falls, where Margaret Fuller describes the overwhelming beauty and power of the rushing rapids. The island features a diverse range of trees and shrubs, thriving in its fertile calcareous soil. Historically, it was significant to the Seneca tribe, who received compensation for its cession, and it has geological significance, having formed from the erosion caused by the falls. Additionally, the island served as a burial ground for Native Americans, with ancient trees marking the resting places of warriors.
