Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonders, has long been a well-known tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see two of the falls that actually form Niagara Falls: the 173-foot high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot high American Falls on the U.S. side of the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 per cent of the water that goes over the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls,

with the rest going over American Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls, also in New York.
Most visitors come to Niagara Falls between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-view. It is also possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the Niagara River, such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation towers which have heights up to 500 feet.
