About Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, New York, is the American side of the great waterfalls on the Niagara River, with a state park, an observation tower and gorge walks.
Niagara Falls, New York, sits on the American bank of the Niagara River, which pours over three waterfalls on its way from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the United States, was laid out by the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and holds viewpoints right at the brink of the American Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. An observation tower looks over the whole scene, including the horseshoe-shaped falls, most of which lie across the border in Canada.
