From the bridge over the Third Branch of the Mohawk. 

A very tacky development to the south of Peebles Island. While relatively compact suburban housing, most of the units are built over garages, and it's all the same plywood and vinyl siding construction.

Some parts of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers around Peebles Island are increadibly quiet, hiding the falls and dams that surround the island.

There is a neat old Colonial house on Van Schiack Island overlooking one of the branches of the Mohawk River and the bridge that connects it to the mainland.

Both of the bridges to Peebles Island are former railroad bridges that have been converted over to one-lane motor vehicle use.
