Project will extend walkway from Gorge to Prospect Point
The New York
State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has announced that it
will be hosting a public information session regarding the expansion of the Crow's
Nest walkway and viewing platform. The meeting will take place in the training
room at DeVeaux Woods
State Park, 3180 DeVeaux Woods Dr, Niagara Falls, NY 14305 on Monday, November 14
from 5:30 p.m.-7:00 pm with a formal presentation taking place at 6:30 p.m.
The Crow's
Nest is located alongside the American Falls and is accessed by going down to
the Maid of the Mist boarding area. Currently, a set of stairs allows visitors
to walk halfway up to a photo op area and turn around and go back. The proposed
expansion will allow visitors to walk all the way to the top of the Gorge to
Prospect Point. The information session will provide renderings of the proposed
concept and other information related to the project.
The
project is expected to cost around $6 million.
