Niagara Falls Absolute Essentials

This selection highlights the geological power of the Niagara River corridor, focusing on the Niagara Whirlpool and the Great Gorge. The list features the Spanish Aero Car, a cable car suspended above the river since 1916, and the White Water Walk, a boardwalk positioned directly beside Class 6 rapids. It also includes the 109-acre Whirlpool State Park on the New York side, which offers clifftop trails and staircase access to the river's edge for views of the massive whirlpool.
