Directions are as in Chris Escott's report, The parquet overlooks the = mouth=20 of the river a short distance upriver from the golf course -- this is where most birders stop on a Niagara River day. The viewpoint below Fort Mississauga can be found as follows: >From the golf course clubhouse (at the south end of the golf course, nearest the parquet) drive north beside the first fairway until the road turns left, and park there. Look for the signboard and gravel path leading to Fort Mississauga (the red brick boxy structure at the far side of the golf course, where the river enters the lake). Before reaching the fort, walk over the grass to the right, behind the putting green for the first hole, and look for a gravel ramp down the wooded slope to the walking trail at the water's edge. Half way along this trail (about 50 m) is a wide gap in the trees where you get a great view of the green buoy (if you get to the pink wing-backed chair another 50 m further on, you've gone too far!).
