Strawberry Island, River island in Niagara River, New York, United States.
The five-acre Strawberry Island divides the east and west branches of the Niagara River, featuring a horseshoe shape with a lagoon and willow trees.
British forces utilized Strawberry Island as a staging location during the 1814 siege of Buffalo, before New York State purchased it from the Seneca Indians in 1815.
A two-story hotel constructed in 1882 provided recreational facilities including an 11-acre tree grove and canal for visitors to experience river activities.
The New York State Office of Parks manages this fish and wildlife preserve, implementing restrictions on motorized boating to protect nesting areas.
The island underwent substantial size changes, starting at 100 acres, expanding to 200 acres through canal construction deposits, before diminishing to five acres through mining.
