Niagara Falls are located on the border of Canada, province of Ontario and USA, state of New York. Niagara Falls are a collective of three waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. Falls are not high, but very wide. In high fall, nearly 6 million cubic feet (168,000 cubic meters) of water falls on a crest line.
The history of the falls brings us about 12,500 years back. That was a time after the Ice Age when the Niagara Peninsula became free from ice. The melted ice started to flow down creating Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and Niagara River, all the way down to the sea through St. Lawrence River. Later, about 10,000 years ago, Wisconsin glaciation formed the features that became Niagara Falls
If you decide to visit these amazing falls we recommend to take the 'Maid of Mist'. This is the most popular and also the oldest (it started in 1846) attraction to explore the full beauty and power of the falls. It operated from April/May to October each year. The boat takes you to the base of magnificent American and Horseshoe Falls...a really unforgettable experience!
