About Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the world, straddling the border between Ontario and New York State. The three waterfalls — Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls — combine to produce the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world.
