Whirlpool State Park


July 6, Niagara falls into the lower river and plein air painters soak it up!

Perfect temperature, slight breezes, laughing families and curious tourists combined with theWhirlpool bridge over the raging Lower Niagara rapids, seagulls coasting in the gorge, the Spanish Aerocar balancing over the Whirlpool, and huge rocks creating splashing water all made for another painting day with unlimited options.

This lovely park has a steep hill down to the overlook into the famous whirlpool formed by the sharp turn of the river. Painters spread out in the park to capture a variety of views, some on the hill above, others on the paths along the gorge.
Donna Hale, Paulette Jurek, Carol Mathewson, Paulette Rozwood, Kath Schifano, Joan Shaw, Joan Turrell all painted their day away, relishing the amazing weather and views.
