A combination of recent and old photos from half a decade ago. Somewhere between the decrepit ruins of the Parkway Inn in Chippawa and Frenchman's Creek RV Park in Fort Erie, one can find this surprisingly well-hidden ghost town of abandoned cabins/cottages.

Holy fuck those lake shots!! Number 13 and the last one are my favorite for sure, something about fog and birdies chilling out by lake. How many houses were there on site back then? Looks like it was pretty big.

Nine buildings in total, and they're all still there. The property runs perpendicular to the Niagara River and stretches back into a field away from it, with the opening a very narrow spot between two occupied houses. So it is really easy to drive by and not even notice, which has got to be why it has lasted so long. The (very wealthy) owner is now long dead.

That makes three really good tourist urbex spots along the Niagara River and a few excellent locations along the Erie shoreline. You can make an entire day out of exploring along just this single route from Niagara Falls to, say, Dunnville.

Yeah man those lake shots are insane, especially the first one. Also love that Morning Dew and Niagara ghost town. Super cool location!

Great work man, I have always wondered about the Parkway and what surprises it might hold!

Im with the others. Beautiful Lake shots! But love the dew on the Lily. Thats so pretty. The houses all in a row is another awesome grouping too!

Them quality barricades! I donno why that is my favorite

Posted by Theninjalobster Also love that Morning Dew

Posted by MisUnderstood! But love the dew on the Lily.

I think that's my favorite shot too, looking back at my own work. I really like foreground objects in macro with abandonments.

I'll tell you that there are a few other unpublished surprises along that route, so keep it on your list.

I was a little surprised to see some of those quality barricades disappear between my visits.

It's insanely romantic. I've always wanted a gorgeous wedding with incredible memories. But our wedding with my husband did not go according to plan from the very beginning. The bridesmaid ruined my wedding dress, the bouquet with boutonnieres was of terrible quality and began to deteriorate. The photographer who took pictures of us was late in the morning, I also had to be nervous because of this. Moreover, during the shooting, I realized that she was an inexperienced photographer, and she often got lost, did not know what and how to shoot, which also did not add to our positive mood. Only thanks to gatlinburg weddings could the impression of the wedding be saved. I hope that we will celebrate the 5th anniversary even better with this wedding trip!

Best bot post ever.

Good God
