The waters of the river extend from foreground to middle distance, where they cascade over the falls. The Terrapin Tower is shown at center left perched atop the edge of the falls. Stretching across the composition, the heavily wooded eastern portion of Goat Island is rendered in some detail. An observation pavilion is visible at left near Terrapin point.
