Horseshoe Falls

The Horseshoe Falls is also known as the Canadian Falls, as it lies on the Canadian side (Ontario, Canada). Its particular name was given to it in 1721, specifically due to the shape of its crest. This is also the largest of the 3 parts that makes up the entire Niagara Falls, and it is possibly the most spectacular.

The Horseshoe Falls also has a characteristic mist that occasionally obscures viewing the large waterfall. However, the fall is entirely viewable from the Canadian side, and at an angle on Goat Island. On sunny days, rainbows are a common sighting. The waterfall was formed about 12’000 years ago. An impressive 90% of water from the Niagara Falls flows from this side of The Falls and it is approximately 170m high.

Millions of tourists visit the Canadian Falls annually, and there are more than just this outstanding natural beauty to satisfy anyone’s interest. The entertainment level is at an all-time high in this vicinity, and there are plenty to explore. Numerous attractions include museums and parks. Shopping and dining are also great ways to spend the holiday. Visitors have a wide variety of accommodation to suit their budget, from large hotels and motels, to historical inns and campsites. Many couples choose this destination for their honeymoon.
