Niagara Falls is made up of three waterfalls which have the combined
highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world and a drop of more than
165 feet. The three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls straddle the
border between the United States and Canada.
Technically, Horseshoe Falls lies mostly in Canada while the smaller Bridal
Veil Falls and the American Falls lie entirely in the United States. Visitors to
the falls can take part in the Maid of the Mist boat ride, which takes
passengers to the area of the rapids just below the falls. Visitors can also
use walkways along Prospect Point Park to view the falls. Every night, the
falls are illuminated, which makes for an impressive display.
