Niagara Falls
Niagara falls the collective name for three waterfalls. That
straddle the international border between Canada and the United States. More
specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. They
form the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.
From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe
Falls.
The American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lies on the border of the United States and Canada with the American Falls entirely on the United States' side, separated by Goat Island.

The combined falls form
the highest flow rate of any
waterfall in North America that has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet
(50 m). During peak daytime tourist hours, more than six million cubic
feet (168,000 m3) of water goes over the crest of the falls
every minute.
The falls are 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo,
New York, and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, between the twin
cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Landmark
The International Control Dam with movable gates upstream from the Horseshoe
Falls. The falls' flow is further halved at night. And during the low tourist
season in the winter, remains a minimum of 50,000 cubic feet per second. Water
diversion is regulated by the 1950 Niagara Treaty and is administered by the
International Niagara Board of Control.
Night Niagara Falls
Some things are just better at night. The rush
of the largest, more massive, stunning waterfall in the whole wide world is
yours to discover. You will also get lots of free time to explore the city,
visit the casino and walk the always intriguing Clifton Hill. At night, the
falls illuminate and glimmer in the moonlight.
Make
your way down to the falls with a cup of hot chocolate, take the perfect photo
and notice the American Bride’s Veil falls; its still beautiful, but always a
close second compared to the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Did you know the
Horseshoe Falls used to move backwards by three feet each year until engineers
figured out how to stop it.
