Horseshoe Falls is located 1, feet south of the other two waterfalls in the park and is separated from them by Goat Island where I recommended parking. One thing worth noting is that there is often an incredible spray off of this waterfall. This not only makes viewing the far end of the waterfall difficult but also means that you are very likely to get at least a little bit wet if you stand anywhere near the crest of the waterfall.
Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the park. The best free viewing area is on the northern side of the waterfall on Luna Island. This is part of the large viewing area where you can also see American Falls. Better views of this waterfall can be had from the Cave of the Winds attraction which takes you near the base of this waterfall and from the Canadian side where the view is more distant but head on to the falls.
It is feet wide and has a total drop of feet though only feet of that is a freefall drop, depending on the rock pile at the base of the falls. There are several good viewing areas for American Falls including from Luna Island and from the viewing area near the Maid of the Mist store. In addition to seeing the waterfalls of Niagara Falls State Park from the free viewing areas, there are many other fun things to do within the park.
You can also find several shops and restaurants within the park. There are also several miles of walking trails in the park, which offer the chance to see the beauty of the Niagara River upstream of the waterfalls.
Feeling lucky? You may even catch a famous Niagara Falls rainbow. Seasonal; open weekends only until November 14, From the evergreen forests to the cobalt blue waters, welcome to nofilter heaven. Accessible from Goat Island, Three Sisters Islands are connected by three historic walking bridges, named for the daughters of Parkhurst Whitney, an early hotelman and leading citizen in Niagara Falls.
Depending on the time of day and year, platforms can swell with visitors, so why not pay a visit at sunrise when you pretty much have the wonder all to yourself! Or at dusk, view the nightly illumination here. In case you missed it ICYMI, for the social media savvy among you , the island is named after the lunar rainbow phenomenon — a rare occurrence that can manifest over the island.

Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind dining experience. The Top of the Falls Restaurant serves American-fare lunch and dinners and a panoramic view of the Falls. But the daredevil diversion lives on, at least in name.
Newer, sturdier, and ever-changing walkways have been installed in front of Bridal Veil Falls. Dare to face the roaring spray by starting in the state park, where, happily, a modern elevator takes you safely to the walkway. A soaking is unavoidable—which makes it all the more amazing that the tour is open even in the depths of winter. There's actually a legal way to enter Canada on the sly: Take the Maid of the Mist, which has been sailing since It's not a single boat anymore but a fleet of all-electric vessels that depart from Niagara Falls State Park and creep toward the deafening thunder of Horseshoe Falls.
At several points during the tour you'll be floating in Canadian waters—and soaking up the views from that side of the border. But because you don't dock in Ontario, you don't need a passport. The minute ride sets out every 15 minutes. Admission to this and several other attractions are sold as part of the Niagara USA Discovery Pass, but because not everything included on the pass chargees admission, Frommer's does consider this product to be a good value.
Late May to early November; MaidoftheMist. By this point, you're probably eager to leave behind the touristy spots and get to know the area on its own terms. Your first stop should be the excellent Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center, which opened in after years of thoughtful planning and top-of-the-line execution. For enslaved people who escaped bondage and traveled north on the Underground Railroad, finally glimpsing the mists of Niagara Falls meant seeing freedom at last.
The Falls—and the many locals who secretly helped escapees flee across the Suspension Bridge to Canada—played an enormous role in the antislavery movement, yet it was only recently that a museum about that chapter was established.
Small, powerful, and packed with harrowing stories, the center deserves to be a requisite stop on the Niagara Falls visitor circuit. You'll find it about a mile and a half downstream of the main Falls district, by the city's Amtrak station, where the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge now crosses the river.
