Niagara Falls is located on the Niagara River where Lake
Erie drains into Lake Ontario and features the Horseshoe
Falls and the adjacent American Falls. The Niagara Falls
form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world
and has a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m) with
the Horseshoe Falls being the most powerful of the two.
Niagara Falls forms the international border between
Canada and the USA and is located between the twin cities
of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York. The
current rate of erosion is approximately 1 foot per year and
it is estimated that 50,000 years from now - the remaining
20 miles to Lake Erie will have been eroded and the falls will
cease to exist. Niagara Falls visits rose sharply in 1953 after
the release of Niagara, a movie starring Marilyn Monroe
and Joseph Cotten. Later in the 20th century, the falls were
a featured location in 1980s movie Superman II.
The Falls are best viewed from the Canadian side of the
Niagara River, where the Niagara Parkway runs alongside
the River. The Fallsview Casino and shopping complex on
the hill next to Murray Street also presents an excellent
vantage point and is well worth a visit, together with a trip
up the Skylon Tower. No Visit to Niagara would be complete
without a journey on the famous Maid of the Mist and a
walk through the caves in "A Journey Behind the Falls". In
both cases you are supplied with a blue mac as you will get
wet without one. There are also a couple of water parks
in Niagara Falls which are well worth a visit. Clifton Hill
is one of the major tourist promenades in Niagara Falls,
Ontario. This area contains a number of gift shops, wax
museums, haunted houses, restaurants, hotels and themed
attractions. For visitors, particularly families and teenagers,
it is a major amusement area and centre for night life.
A BRIEF HISTORY
This corner of Canada has lots of history as it was where
the Americans fought in 1812 for supremacy over the
British, particularly around Niagara On the Lake. Brock's
Monument is a 56 metre (185 ft) column atop Queenston
Heights, dedicated to Major General Sir Isaac Brock, one
of Canada's heroes of the War of 1812. Brock is interred at
the monument's base, on the heights above the battlefield,
where he fell during the Battle of Queenston Heights. The
combined British, Canadian, and First Nation forces were
eventually victorious over the Americans.
A visit to this area would also not be complete without a visit
to Niagara on the Lake, just down river from the falls on the
shore of Lake Ontario. This was the original capital of Canada
and is separated from the USA by the Niagara River. Niagara on
the Lake is the most picturesque town you will ever see with
pristine sidewalks, manicured flower beds and vintage pastel
coloured colonial buildings. It looks as if it has been created
by Disney, but it is very real and a huge tourist attraction.
There are lots of gift and craft shops here as well as three
theatres and some great restaurants. This marks the gateway
to the fruit orchards and wine growing regions of Ontario
with its famous ice wine made from frozen grapes. Look out
for the exciting Jet Boat Tours based here, which take you up
the Niagara River towards the falls, through the rapids and
the mighty whirlpool. There are both dry and very, very wet
versions from which to choose!
AMTRAK MAPLE LEAF SERVICE
between Niagara Falls & Manhattan. The journey takes
you through the lush greenery of Upstate New York past
the Finger Lakes region, Adirondack Mountains, Cranberry
Lakes and through some major historic landmarks. The
history along the route is an intriguing mix of early
European settlers trading with native Mohawk Indians and
some big names in American corporate history such as
GEC, Kodak and Xerox. Perhaps opt for a holiday in the Fall
(Autumn) when the air is crisp and the foliage is turning
a magnificent array of colours, from russet to orange, red
and yellow.
The train departs Niagara Falls at approx 1030 and arrives
in Manhattan at New York Penn Station under Madison
Square Garden on 33rd St at approx' 2145. This service
takes just over 11 hours, including approx 2 hours for
immigration and passport control at the border as the train
crosses the Niagara River from Ontario to New York. The
actual journey time is just over 9 hours. There is no Amtrak
ticket desk at the train station in Niagara Falls Ontario.
When the train pulls into the station, the conductor will
enter the station building and hand out tickets to those
who have pre-booked their journey. The train has very
comfortable recliner seats in both coach class (reserved
carriages) and business class. Both classes of seat have lots
of space and picture windows. Passengers will benefit from
the snack car which serves hot drinks, snacks and alcoholic
beverages. Towards the second half of the journey popular
items begin to run out. SINGLE CRUISERS

level, plus there is an exclusive Studio lounge and bar for
single studio cruisers to meet fellow passengers.

NIAGARA FALLS
If you think Canada and Niagara Falls are going to be cold and full of honeymooners - think again! Adults, couples and children are equally mesmerized by the awesome splendour
of the falls; plus holidays to this part of the world are a surprising treat with an amazing range of things to do. The falls are an absolute sight to behold and one that is a "must see"
experience - the memory of which will live on for years to come. Niagara Falls is the perfect destination throughout the year with weather which truly reflects the seasons - with hot
balmy days in the summer, the myriad of colours in the autumn, the frosty freshness of winter and the relatively short, budding season of spring.
