See Niagara Falls, One of the World's Natural Wonders

Niagara Falls is New York State's most spectacular water attraction and one of the natural wonders of the world. Visitors are awestruck at Niagara Falls. It is a study of contrasts, with delicate rainbows and rising mists amid unbridled roaring thunder.

The falls can be seen from many vantage points. Stroll through the oldest state park in the nation, the Niagara Falls Reservation State Park, where you can see the churning Niagara River before it spills over the falls. Walk to the brink and see the river crash 176 feet to the base. Don slickers and power launch on a Maid of the Mist boat tour to the base of the falls. Walk down a winding staircase in the Cave of the Winds and see the Bridal Veil Falls through the mist. Or hover overhead by helicopter and photograph one of nature's most powerful forces from above. Other attractions in the area, including State Parks Visitors Center, the New York Power Authority and the Schoellkopf Geological Museum, describe the history, technology and geology of the falls.
