For years, the Maid of the Mist has thrilled passengers by taking them just below the falls. Whilst wet weather gear is provided, passengers are advised they will get a good soaking.
The American Falls is one of three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada–U.S. border. Unlike the much larger Horseshoe Falls, of which two-thirds of the falls is located in Ontario, Canada, and one-third in New York State, United States, the American Falls is entirely within the U.S. state of New York
Located on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m).
Powerful lights which change colours can be seen after sunset. The result is a spectacular light show.
