The park cuts a gorge into the hillside, a cavern-like network of rock formations. In two miles the stream drops 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, with 19 waterfalls along the way.

Extra fee

Niagara Falls State Park

Niagara Falls night tour. Niagara Falls is three waterfalls, not one, and its park is the oldest state park in the United States.

Winter tours only, when the Maid of the Mist is closed. The Cave of the Winds on the New York side lets visitors walk to the base of Bridal Veil Falls, with water crashing down and flowing beneath the decking.

Extra fee

*Only in Summer tours

Summer tours only. Height and volume make Niagara what it is: more than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 cubic meters) of water goes over the crest every minute at peak daytime hours. The Maid of the Mist takes passengers as close to the falls as a boat can go, into the mist the cascade throws up.

Extra fee

Old Fort Niagara State Historic Site

Winter tours only. Old Fort Niagara spans more than 300 years, and its position on the lake gave it a part in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Lake Ontario lies behind the fort.
