The roar arrives before you do: a low, relentless thunder that vibrates the boardwalk and fills the air with fine spray. On the first morning you stand on the American side as the Maid of the Mist pushes into the plume, water daring you to step closer; on day two you walk the tunnels behind Horseshoe Falls and feel its power from within the rock.

History
The falls have been a focal point for hydroelectric development since the late 19th century—Tesla and other engineers helped turn Niagara into a model for harnessing river power. The surrounding towns also played roles in early industrial and military history, including sites from the War of 1812.
Conservation
High visitor numbers stress shoreline habitats; stick to marked paths, don’t feed wildlife, and use recycling stations where available to reduce impact.
