13 Terrapin Rock and Horseshoe Fall from Goat Island
Terrapin Rock and Horseshoe Fall from Goat Island
Standing on the extremity of Goat Island, there is presented an unsurpassed and strikingly artistic view of the famous Terrapin Rock and the Horseshoe Fall. The tiny bridge which spans the Rapids just above the Fall has one end resting on Goat Island and the other upon Terrapin Rock. A stone tower formerly stood on Terrapin Rock, which lies on the very brink of the Falls, seemingly as if in momentary danger of being swept into the vortex below. The ceaseless thunder of the waters, the vibration of the volume, and the constant dampness and mist rendered the tower dangerously unsafe, and it was removed about a quarter of a century ago.
