The falls themselves are a set of three separate waterfalls - American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls - all emanating from the southern end of Niagara Gorge.Īway from the water, there are lots of ways to enjoy the great outdoors in Niagara Falls, from admiring spring flowers in DeVeaux Woods State Park to snowshoeing at Royalton Ravine, and relaxing with a round of golf at one of the nearby courses. It’s also famously home to some of the most powerful and beautiful waterfalls in North America - some 6 million cubic feet of water gush through the falls every minute. Located on the border between New York state and Ontario, Canada, and sitting between the deep waters of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, the city of Niagara Falls offers peaceful nature reserves, historic forts, and fertile surrounding vineyards.
