What do you think about the picture! It's the famous Niagara Fall. You know, it is the best honeymoon place for the couples around the world. It's an awesome creation of the Creator.
Niagara Falls attracts an incredible amount of tourists each season to enjoy the awesome scene of Niagara from one of the many outlooks. Over 28 million tourists come in USA and Canada for the awesome scenes of Niagara Falls per year. There are many more Niagara Falls State Park points of interest to encounter the beauty.
Niagara Falls is located in both Ontario, Canada and New York, USA. It is the name of a group of three individual waterfalls named American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Canadian Falls (aka Horseshoe Falls). Together, these waterfalls are the most powerful in North America.
Horseshoe Falls has the highest drop at 173 feet (53 meters), while the waters flowing over American Falls tumble about 100 feet (30 meters). More impressive, though, is the sheer amount of water flowing over Niagara Falls, up to 202,000 cubic feet (5,700 cubic meters) per second during peak flow.
A small island called Goat Island separates the American and Canadian sections of the falls.
At night, Niagara Falls is lit up by colorful floodlights creating a breathtaking scene like no other.
Visitors can take a tour on the iconic Maid of the Mist boat, enjoy a ride on the Niagara Scenic Trolley, or splurge on a Flight of Angels helium balloon ride for a unique aerial view.
length of brink: 1060 feet
volume of water: 150,000 U.S. Gallons per second
More than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m3) of water falls over the crest line every minute in high flow, and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m3) on average.
The Niagara Falls are renowned both for their beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Managing the balance between recreational, commercial, and industrial uses has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 19th century.
And if you aren’t afraid of heights, I’d suggest riding to the top of the Skylon Tower to see a complete view of the entire Niagara region.
The busiest time of year for the Niagara Falls region is during the warmest summer months. You can usually expect larger crowds in July than in October, which was the month of my visit, but not all attractions are open year-round.
