Part of the world-renowned Niagara Falls, it's situated on the Canadian side, straddling the border of Ontario, Canada and New York, United States. Named due to its unique horseshoe-shaped crest, the falls form an overwhelming roar as about 6 million cubic feet of water cascades over its brink per minute. Towering at approximately 57 meters (188 ft) high and measuring 790 meters (2,590 ft) in width, Horseshoe Falls captivates visitors with its scale and mesmerizing flow. On bright sunny days, expect to be greeted by enchanting rainbows sprouting from the mist of the falls. And once the sun dips, Horseshoe Falls transform into an ethereal canvas, illuminated in various hues by colored lights - making for perfect photography moments. Whether you wish to experience the might of Horseshoe Falls up close with a ride on the famed Hornblower boat (now refferred to as Niagara City Cruises), or admire the panoramas from the lush greenery of Queen Victoria Park, it's an awe-inspiring encounter that should not be missed. The Horseshoe Falls is not merely a sight to behold. It's an experience – a powerful display of nature’s grandeur, a moment of sheer awe, and a spectacle that stirs the soul. Come and feel the thunderous energy and marvel at the incredible natural wonder that is the Horseshoe Falls. Contact: 6650 Niagara River Parkway, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada Previous Next

Niagara Falls State Park is open 365 days a year, and it's always free to walk into the Park and experience the Falls! Today, the park’s signature attraction, the majestic Niagara Falls, is the dramatic apex of the free-flowing waters of four of the Great Lakes into the Niagara River Gorge. Niagara Falls State Park: The Oldest State Park in the United States < Back About: Niagara Falls State Park is open 365 days a year, and it's always free to walk into the Park and experience the Falls! Today, the park’s signature attraction, the majestic Niagara Falls, is the dramatic apex of the free-flowing waters of four of the Great Lakes into the Niagara River Gorge. But that wasn’t always the case. During the Industrial Revolution of the early 19th Century, the natural beauty of Niagara Falls began to suffer as earnest industrialists built mills and factories along the river to harness its power. By the late 1860s, a small band of early environmentalists, including landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who were concerned over the river’s waning flow, founded the Free Niagara movement. The movement believed that the natural beauty of the land surrounding the Falls should be protected from commercial interests and exploitation, and remain free to the public. Members urged New York State to reclaim the Falls and the surrounding area. After more than 15 years of pressure, the Free Niagara crusaders won their battle. The Niagara Appropriations Bill was signed into law in 1885, creating the Niagara Reservation and signifying possibly the most important event in Niagara Falls’ history. New York State Assemblyman Thomas Vincent Welch was a prominent figure in getting the bill signed and later went on to serve as the first superintendent of America’s oldest state park. Frederick Law Olmsted, perhaps best known for designing New York City’s Central Park, believed that parks should be places of natural beauty, where “the masses could be renewed.” This philosophy was applied throughout Olmsted’s landscape design for Niagara Falls State Park, with an entire network of footpaths through wooded areas and along the banks of the Niagara River. Today, the oldest American State Park retains Olmsted’s vision by staying committed to maintaining native vegetation, preserving its unparalleled vistas and providing public access. Visitors from around the world are entranced by the thundering wonder of Niagara Falls, a grand tribute to the men and women who fought to preserve it for all.

Come for views and stay for the fun! Located only 25 minutes from Niagara Falls is the beautiful and always exciting Canalside in Buffalo. Canalside is the heart of Buffalo’s waterfront revitalization. It’s located in the city’s downtown corridor at the intersection of Pearl Street and Marine drive. Buffalo Canalside / Outer Harbor < Back About: Come for views and stay for the fun! Located only 25 minutes from Niagara Falls is the beautiful and always exciting Canalside in Buffalo. Canalside is the heart of Buffalo’s waterfront revitalization. It’s located in the city’s downtown corridor at the intersection of Pearl Street and Marine drive. The Erie Canal Harbor was originally built in 1825 as the western terminus of the Erie Canal. In its heyday, America’s “Gateway to the West” was one of the world’s greatest business centers, teeming with canal and rail traffic passing from the Atlantic seaboard across the Great Lakes. For much of the 19th century it was truly an industrious port that bustled with people and goods from all over the world. As a result of this prodigious commercial activity, by 1850 Buffalo was transformed from a small waterfront village into a thriving metropolis—eventually becoming the largest inland port in the nation as well as the unofficial grain capital of North America. While Erie Canal Harbor and its “Central Wharf” represented the epicenter of commerce and trade in Buffalo, the surrounding canal district neighborhood enjoyed a much more ambiguous reputation. Home to a diverse cross-section of canal-era inhabitants and transient visitors, the district’s saloons, hotels and other establishments buzzed with activity, and the crime rate reflected it. The arrival of trains and automobiles in the early 20th century led to the ultimate demise of Erie Canal Harbor as a functional hub of commerce. In time, the site was covered over with stone and dirt to make way for modern streets and vehicle parking. The harbor rested in this state until 2005, when the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation was formed, and the area was reclaimed for restoration as one of America’s brightest historical treasures. Canalside is the jewel in Buffalo’s waterfront crown. The result of over $300 million in new development, Canalside hosts over 1,000 annual events. Every summer, outdoor yoga, children’s activities, maker markets, concerts and countless other events take place on a daily basis. Check online for what is happening at Canalside during your stay!!
