What are the
unknown facts
about the
Niagara Falls?
1. Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge spanning the border between the province of Ontario in Canada and the state of New York in the United States.
2. The largest of the three is Horseshoe Falls, also known as Canadian Falls, that straddles the international border of the two countries.
3. The smaller American Falls and
Bridal Veil Falls lie within the
United States.
4. Bridal Veil Falls
are separated from Horseshoe Falls by Goat Island and from American Falls by
Luna Island. Both these islands are situated in New York.
5. The combined falls
have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America with a vertical drop of more than 50 metres.
6. During peak daytime tourist hours, more than 168,000 m³ of water goes over the crest of the falls every minute.
7. Niagara Falls was
formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age) and water from the then, newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment on the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
8. Niagara Falls
produces large amounts of electricity and had its first hydroelectric station built on Niagara River in 1881.
9. It produces about 1/4th of the
electricity for the state of New York and
Canadian province Ontario.

from the falls cushions fish that travel down and flow with the waters.

State Park has more than 400 acres filled with diverse landscape and wildlife such as the wintering gull and waterfowl species.
