The rushing waters then drop down a wide, steep, horseshoe shaped cliff to the bottom of the gorge en route to Lake Ontario. Try an optional boat trip onboard the "Maid Of The Mist" and sail close enough to the bottom of the falls to get wet from the hurricane of mist produced by the falls.
Hotel: Renaissance Niagara Falls
