Niagar Falls is known as the “Honeymoon Capital of the World” and is a mecca for lovers of all ages. The Fall is the international boundary between Ontario, Canada and New York, U.S.A. The River flows calmly northward from Lake Erie, then hastens along more swiftly as it approaches the mighty Niagara Falls, one of the world’s greatest cataracts. After leaping from the overhanging shelf of rock at the crest of the Falls in a thunderous roar, it then seethes and churns through a narrow gorge until it suddenly spills into Lake Ontario. The River drops 96 meters (315 feet) in its brief length. The Falls themselves drop half that distance, pouring nearly half a million tons of water in their basin every minute.
