Waterfall Park and Hikes in Niagara-on-the-Lake

"Niagara Falls forms a natural rift between Ontario and New York State. On the US side, Bridal Veil Falls crash onto mammoth fallen rocks. On the Canadian side, the grander, more powerful Horseshoe Falls plunge into the cloudy Maid of the Mist Pool. The prime falls-watching spot is Table Rock, poised just meters from the drop – arrive early to beat the crowds."

"Located on the Canadian Side of Niagara Falls lies one of the great natural wonders of the world. For hundreds of years, Niagara Falls has attracted visitors from both sides of the border and around the world."

"At 2,600 feet wide and 188 feet tall, Horseshoe is the largest of the 3 cascades that make up the renowned Niagara Falls."

"Unlike many other New York State Parks, there is no charge for admission to visit Niagara Falls State Park. However, there is no free parking in the area, so you will have to pay for parking somewhere either in the park or in the city of Niagara Falls. Without a doubt, the closest parking areas to the waterfalls are Lots 1 and 2 in Niagara Falls State Park."

"The Niagara Falls State Park in Niagara Falls, NY is the oldest state park in the USA. It contains the mighty American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls with views of Niagara Falls Canada. There are plenty of hiking trails located along the Niagara River to take in the views of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Gorge."

"The park is full of attractions that do cost money, but you can simply go to view the Falls free of charge. If you visit the Falls at night, you will see the water lit up with LED lights. During special events, the water will flash specific colors."

"Niagara Falls is a city on the Niagara River, in New York State. It’s known for the vast Niagara Falls, which straddle the Canadian border. In Niagara Falls State Park, the Observation Tower, at Prospect Point, juts out over Niagara Gorge for a view of all 3 waterfalls. Trails from the Niagara Gorge Discovery Center lead to other viewpoints."

"Two days really aren’t enough to explore this large city and go on day trips outside the city to such landmarks as Niagara Falls and The Big Apple, but it is a start anyway! Toronto Itinerary – Day 1"

"Situated not far from the Casino Niagara on Falls Avenue, Guinness Book of World Records Museum is the place where you may experience the wonders of Guinness World Records in person. This Niagara Falls museum offers thousands of amazing facts and feats that make the Guinness Book of Records come to life. Using videos, interactive games, computers, life-sized models, Guinness Book of World Records Museum is a wonderful attraction for grown-ups."

"American Falls is the northernmost waterfall in Niagara Falls State Park. It is 830 feet wide and has a total drop of 188 feet (though only 70-110 feet of that is a freefall drop, depending on the rock pile at the base of the falls). There are several good viewing areas for American Falls including from Luna Island and from the viewing area near the Maid of the Mist store."

"During the 12-minute flight, you’ll fly right over Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, see the rapids and Rainbow Bridge alongside the giant whirlpool. It really is a unique way to see Niagara Falls."

"The American Falls is the second-largest of the three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada–U.S. border."

"Though the waterfalls themselves (Niagara Falls actually comprises three waterfalls, the American, the Canadian and the more meagre Bridal Veil falls) are the big draw, there's a whole lot else going on in the Niagara Region, so you'll want to devote a full day: 8 hours minimum, considering the drive each way is 90 minutes. If you have your own car, follow our directions for getting from Toronto to Niagara Falls. If you are a wine enthusiast or just to take in some striking scenery, allow time to visit the Niagara Wine Region just off the highway on your way to Niagara Falls. The wine route is well mapped out and plenty of signs will show you where to exit to visit any one of the more than 100 wineries."

"Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the park. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s actually part of American Falls because there is only a very small island, Luna Island, separating this waterfall from its neighbor. Bridal Veil Falls is about 55 feet wide, which would make it a major waterfall almost anywhere else in New York, but it’s nearly an afterthought here."

"The smallest of the three waterfalls that comprise world-famous Niagara Falls, Bridal Veil Falls is anything but small. Located on the US side of the falls, the 56-foot-wide (17-meter-wide) waterfall thunders over a 78-foot (24-meter) drop. Its frothy white cascade is reminiscent of a bride’s veil, hence the falls’ name.More"
