Night thickens around the spray of the falls and the lights across the river, and you unlock the first audio track on your phone. The sound of water is constant—an urge that pushes the narration forward as you walk the paved paths of Niagara Falls State Park. The tour places you at landmarks you already want to visit: Prospect Point, Goat Island edges, the viewing decks at Bridal Veil, and the international span of Rainbow Bridge.
