Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls consists of three magnificent waterfalls spanning the border of Canada and New York.

Maid of the Mist

The double-decker boat tour takes plastic-poncho-sporting passengers right up to the base of the Horseshoe Falls, which spans an incredible 2,200 feet in width.  The ride provides passengers with a new perspective on the Falls and an appreciation for just how powerful they really are.

Cave of the Winds

An elevator takes people from the area between the American and Canadian Falls down to the level of the Niagara River at the base of the American Falls. A series of redwood decks and platforms allow sightseers to walk right up to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls with water crashing down right on them and flowing beneath the decking.

Niagara Falls State Park

A huge expanse of natural beauty, this oldest state park in the U.S. offers biking, fishing, and contains plenty of hiking and walking trails, including the Niagara Gorge Trail System, which affords great views of both the falls and the gorge.

Niagara Gorge Trail

Suits both scenic strollers and challenge-driven climbers. The Rim Trail, at the top of the gorge, provides a picturesque overlook of the river. Those pursuing a more adventurous hike may wish to descend the steps to the gorge to view the rapids via the moderate Devil’s Hole or the difficult Whirlpool Rapids Trail.

Goat Island

Goat Island sits in the middle of the American and Canadian falls, offering many walking trails and viewing points of the surrounding landscapes.

Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Center

This Heritage Center celebrates the city’s history of Underground Railroad abolitionists and freedom seekers.
