Niagara Falls isn’t just one waterfall, it’s the name given to the group of three waterfalls on the international border between Ontario, Canada and New York, United States. The three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls, although Horseshoe is by far the most famous. It is the only one of the three directly on the border.
Buy your tickets and pick up a raincoat and rubber boots from the Table Rock Welcome Center for a Journey Behind the Falls. Take the elevator below ground, and see the Falls from one of the many underground viewing areas. You can hear the water before you see it. Take the iconic Maid of the Mist, a two-level boat, down through the Gorge, feel the thunder of the water, the push against the current, and the spray in your face.
Niagara Falls was formed when glaciers receded at the end of the last ice age, and the Falls was first called “Horseshoe” in 1721. Although famous for its beauty, it is also a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Did you know that the height of Horseshoe Falls is 170 ft and is the most powerful waterfall in North America?
