Fog from the falls clings to your jacket as the trolley eases into Prospect Point — a platform of stone and steel that puts you a breath away from the Horseshoe Falls’ roar. The guide points out the arc of churning water, the spray that dares you to step closer, and the routes your private vehicle can take to show off the river’s scale.

History
The gorge and falls were shaped by glacial melt at the end of the last Ice Age; the area later became a focal point for early hydroelectric development and cross-border tourism in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Conservation
Water diversion for power is governed by international agreements that limit flow over the falls; the parklands focus on erosion control and responsible visitor access to minimize human impact.

Bring a waterproof layer
Mist from the falls soaks clothing quickly; a lightweight waterproof shell keeps you comfortable during observation and short walks.
Wear slip-resistant shoes
Walkways can be wet and uneven—choose shoes with good traction for stairs and promenades.
