Three Sisters Islands, River islands in Niagara Falls State Park, US
Three Sisters Islands consist of four connected landmasses situated approximately 500 yards east of the Horseshoe Falls along Goat Island's southeast side.
In 1816, General Parkhurst Whitney and his three daughters Asenath, Angeline, and Celinda Eliza reached the third island by walking across during an ice formation.
The Iroquois people performed traditional ceremonies on these islands to communicate with He-No, a spirit they believed lived in a cave near the falls.
Visitors can access all three islands through walking bridges from Goat Island, offering views of the upper rapids before the water flows toward Niagara Falls.
The islands were originally called Moss Islands in 1843 due to the extensive moss coverage on their rock surfaces.
