First, visit the Whirlpool State Park downstream from Niagara Falls, followed by a trip to the world-renowned Niagara Falls. The sheer power of Niagara Falls is overwhelming, with the deafening roar of the water. The falls plunge 57 meters straight down into the Niagara Gorge, surging powerfully like a stampede of wild horses, eventually transforming into a misty haze. The Maid of the Mist boat tour brings visitors up close to the falls, offering an awe-inspiring view of the massive waterfall cascading from the sky, resembling a river of stars falling from the heavens. The falls appear suspended between the blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by lush green landscapes, with the water roaring beneath. Feel the immense spray and mist created by the falls' powerful plunge.
Niagara Whirlpool State Park – the Whirlpool, 125 feet deep, was formed 7,500 years ago by water erosion.
Niagara Fort State Park – the historical Fort is a site of great significance, located at the mouth of the Niagara River, connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, one of the five Great Lakes in the U.S.
