    For a great view of the Horseshoe Falls go just up from the Table Rock House Visitors Center. You can get very close and have great views for great photos of the Falls. The water is so clear and clean and you get a real feeling of the power these falls really have. If you look closely at the top middle of the photo you can see a dark spot next to a small glump of trees, that is a rather large barge that broke loose from it's tug when it was being towed, it is now stuck there to rust away, I mean who got the guts to go retreve it.

    The historical roots of Niagara Falls lie in the Wisconsin glaciation, which ended some 10,000 years ago. Both the North American Great Lakes and the Niagara River are effects of this last continental ice sheet, an enormous glacier that crept across the area from eastern Canada.

    The Horseshoe or Canadian Falls are the bigger and some might say better of the Falls. Unusual in shape and mighty powerful, these really seem to be the main attraction.
    Fun Falls Facts:
    *Years ago, both sets of Waterfalls were about 7 miles downstream. Erosion has caused them to move dramatically, up to 6 feet a year! Unbelievable!
    *In the winter it gets so cold that an Ice bridge forms by the falls. Earlier in the century, tourists were able to iceskate and walk across this bridge. After a few too many people lost their lives when the bridge suddenly broke up and they were left stranded on iceburgs, this practice was stopped.
    * The first person to go over Niagara Falls and survive was a woman. Annie Taylor went over in a wooden barrel in 1901.

    My wife and I come from one of the driest nations on the planet - Australia. So to come here and see one fifth of all the fresh water in the world, which lies in the four Upper Great Lakes-Michigan, Huron, Superior and Erie, I get jealous! All this outflow empties into the Niagara river and eventually cascades over the falls.
    It is awe-inspiring, spectacular and should be enjoyed!

    Niagara Falls are just beautiful from every possible angle, and you will take literally hundreds of photos trying to capture the perfect picture! I tried and failed many times but I think that I captured it with this photo, taken from "the story underneath the falls"....I think that it expresses the sheer weight and force of this beautiful place.

    Horseshoe Falls is separated from the American Falls by Goat Island. The crest line is 2,200 ft. (670 m.) and sends over 600,000 gallons of water per second into the Gorge at 20 mph (32 kph). The height (173 ft. (53 m.) is a little more intimidating because there isn't much rock build up at the bottom.

  • About 12,000 years ago, Niagara Falls was 11 kilometres (7 miles) downstream from its present location. Until the early 1950s, the Falls eroded at the average rate of one metre (3 feet) per year.

    - The Canadian Falls is approximately 52 metres(170 ft) high.
    - The crestline is estimated to be 675 metres (2200ft) wide.
    - The depth of the river at the base of the falls is actually higher than the falls itself. The river's depth is estimated at 56 metres (184 ft).
    - The flow of water over the crestline of the falls is estimated at more than 168,000 cubic metres.
    - The Canadian Falls was first described as "horseshoe" shaped in 1721.

    It's not always that great weather at the Niagara Falls. During my visit in the summer of 97 it was a wonderful summer's day! The big disadvantage of that is that it will be overcrowded with people. Unfortunately I hardly have any photos of that visit, so you have to do with the photos that I took in November and December 2002. Hahaha, that means cold and wet, but hardly any other people around.

    This photo was taken in November, I was soaking wet from the fine drizzle of rain, hahaha, but still smiling as it is always great to see the falls :-)) In the background you can see the Horseshoe Falls.

    Go to Table Rock point, pay $6 canadian for parking, walk across the crosswalk, straight through the building with all of the gift shops, out the back door and just look at it. Amazing.

    Get ready: Horseshoe Falls, with a brink of 2600 feet and a height of 168 feet, is one waterfall you shouldn't miss in your life. With over 600000 gallons of water pouring over each second, Horseshoe Falls is completely stunning. Rainbows form everywhere and the mist shoots hundreds of feet into the air above the falls. The falls thunder constantly while falling. It is one amazing spectacle.
