Niagara Falls in USA
Niagara Falls is a powerful waterfall on the Niagara River, on the border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York. The beauty of the falls has long made it a honeymoon destination in the US.Niagara Falls is really three separate falls. The two larger falls (Horseshoe Falls and American Falls) are separated by Goat Island on the Niagara River. Horseshoe Falls is mostly in Canada while American Falls is on the American side of the river. A smaller falls, Bridal Veil Falls, is also on the US side of the river; it is separated from American Falls by Luna Island.Over 20 million tourists a year visit Niagara Falls. In the summer the falls are illuminated by floodlights after dark on the Canadian side. On the American side, visitors can travel by car to Niagara Falls State Park, which includes Goat Island in the middle of the falls. Balloon rides and helicopter trips are also available to get you panoramic views of the falls. Niagara Falls only ranks about 50th on the list of the tallest waterfalls in the world. But the huge volume of water that goes over the falls make it one of the most powerful water falls in the world. That power has long been harnessed for hydroelectric projects which you can tour was part of your visit.Resources on Niagara Falls
