Bird Island Pier is a popular fishing area located on Squaw Island in Buffalo, NY. It is accessible by crossing the Ferry Street lift bridge and offers a picturesque view of the Niagara River and the Peace Bridge. The pier, which extends into the mouth of the river, was originally built in the 19th century and has since been rebuilt and extended. It provides a sheltered retreat for vessels and serves as a convenient harbor with an average depth of 15 feet.
Historically, Bird Island Pier played a significant role in the development of the Erie Canal, as it carved out a canal from the Niagara River. The pier is now connected to Black Rock Canal and offers a waterway for pleasure craft and commercial vessels. It is crossed by three bridges, including the Peace Bridge and the International Railway Bridge. The area surrounding Bird Island Pier, known as Black Rock, has a rich history and was once a bustling docking place for boats and a ferry crossing to Canada.
