Come fall in love at the Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls consists of three sections. The large Canadian falls – with their distinctive curved shape – are also known as the Horseshoe Falls. They are separated by Goat Island from the American Falls, which are separated by a small island at their south end, from the narrow Bridal Veil Falls.
Each side of the falls offers a different perspective, and it is always best to visit both sides to maximize your experience. The American side gives a side-on view of the American Falls, and an observation points only 20 yards from the top of the falls. Although the Canadian side is touted as having the best view, the American side is a State Park, the oldest in the nation, so efforts have been made to preserve the natural beauty of the area and prevent the kind of commercialization that you’ll find on the Canadian side. Visitors looking to experience the falls as a natural wonder will appreciate this.
