Located approximately 236 meters above sea level, its fall is about 52 meters. They include three falls: The 'Canadian Falls (Ontario), the "American magnifiers" (New York) and the smallest, the "Bridal Veil Falls. Although not a great height, are very large, and are the most voluminous of North America, by passing them across the water from the Great Lakes.

Since their discovery by European settlers have become very popular, not only for its beauty but also as an energy source and a challenging project for environmental conservation. Tourism is a place shared by the cities of Niagara Falls (New York) and Niagara Falls (Ontario).

Niagara Falls at night you admire most from the Canadian side because artificial lights illuminate both sides for several hours after sunset. On the U.S. side, the Cave of the Winds leads hikers to a point below the waterfall bridal veil. The Niagara Scenic Trolley offers guided trips through the American Falls. On the Canadian side, Queen Victoria Park has platforms that offer a spectacular view of American and Canadian Falls. There are also paths to observatories that produce the illusion of being under the falls. The observation deck near the Skylon Tower offers the highest view of the falls and, on the other side, offering spectacular views of the city of Toronto.
