Niagara Falls is a series of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge that spans the border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the American state of New York. Horseshoe Falls is the largest of the three, straddling the two countries’ international borders. It consists of three spectacular waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls (commonly known as the Canadian Falls), American Falls, and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. These waterfalls are famous for their breathtaking beauty and hydroelectric power, bringing millions of people each year.
