Niagara Falls is three waterfalls on the border of the United States and Canada: the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. Together they carry more water over their edge than any other falls in North America.
The spray rises high above the gorge, and on sunny days it is full of rainbows. Sunrise lights the falls from the east, best seen from the Canadian side; in winter, ice builds up around the edges and the mist freezes onto every tree.
A sunrise at Niagara Falls is a gift of power and light — and one of the classic honeymoon places of North America.
The best season
Summer brings full flow, rainbows and long evenings. Autumn colours line the gorge in October; winter turns the falls into ice sculptures and frozen mist.
Where to watch
Prospect Point and Goat Island on the American side stand at the edge of the falls. Across the river, the Canadian promenade faces both falls in morning light.
