Niagara Falls - The Falls

This live view is aimed at the waterfall itself, the great cataract on the Niagara River that divides Ontario from New York State. Watching it gives a sense of the volume and spray that draw visitors from around the world. Check the weather below before you plan a visit.

A river that drops over the edge

Niagara Falls sits on the Niagara River, which links Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The river carries a huge flow of water over an escarpment, and the resulting cataracts are among the best known natural sights in North America. The city that grew up around them is shaped by tourism, with observation decks, boat trips and illuminated night displays along the gorge. The surrounding landscape is flat farmland and orchards, which makes the sudden drop of the river all the more striking.

What the view shows and when to watch

The title points to the Falls themselves rather than a specific street or building, so expect to see the water, its mist and the crowds gathering on the viewing areas, depending on the angle. Mist often rises high above the cataract on cool days, and the falls look fuller in spring when meltwater adds to the flow. Light changes the colours of the water through the day, and in the evening the lighting of the falls can make the scene look quite different from daytime.

Climate and getting around

Niagara has warm summers and cold, snowy winters, with spring and autumn being mild and often pleasant for walking the gorge. Summer is the busiest season, so arriving early helps with parking and viewing spots. The city is compact and many attractions can be reached on foot. Other cameras in the same area include Niagara Falls Panorama View and Juneberry Drive, which show different parts of the town.
