The Niagara Region
The guide was updated:
Niagara Falls is in the Niagara Region peninsula, which is famous for it's wineries, recreational activities, fruit stands, hiking, biking or walking trails, year long events, rich history, and peaceful quiet moments on the beaches of Lake Ontario or Lake Erie. The falls themselves are located directly on the US-Canada border, but the world-famous and iconic Horseshoe falls lie mostly on the Canadian side.
The falls are famous not for their height, for there are taller waterfalls in the world, but for the astounding volume of water that constantly flows over the edge of the falls fueled by four of the five great lakes, a flabbergasting 750,000 gallons per second at its peak.
