Niagara Waterfalls

Niagara waterfalls are full of diversity: from mighty Horseshoe Falls and American Falls to delicate veils

Discover Niagara Waterfalls

• If the vertical drop of the waterfalls is broken into a series of steps and where water cascades down the incline, we are talking about cascade waterfalls.

• If the waterfall height and its crest width are nearly equal, they are known as classical waterfalls.

• Curtain waterfalls are waterfalls where the height is notably smaller than the crest width similar to a wide shower curtain.

• When the waterfall height is significantly greater than the crest width and the stream forms a thin ribbon of water you are looking at ribbon waterfalls.

• Horseshoe Falls

• American Falls

• Balls Falls

• Bridal Veil Falls

• Decew Falls is located on the Bruce Trail and is one of favorite hiker spots that features a waterfall and historic mill. This cascade waterfall is 22 m in height that ends in a bowl-shaped pool on Beaverdam Creek, near Morningstar Mill. You can enjoy the amazing view of the falls, if you go along the Bruce Trail and down into the gorge to the waterfalls' base. After that, if you go behind the waterfall curtain you can feel the cool spray of the falling water. Just below this fall, and along Beaverdam Creek there is a lower Decew Falls with 10 m in height.  

• Louth Falls is a pretty little 6-7 m waterfall that does not carry a lot of water. It is located along the Sixteen Mile Creek and close to other waterfalls, Balls Falls and Rockway Falls. You have to do a little bit of hiking to find this waterfall, as it is located in a deciduous forest. Since it belongs to one of the isolated Niagara waterfalls this can be a good adventure, where you have to put some effort for a good view and to take some pictures.

• Rockway Falls, unlike other Niagara waterfalls, doesn't belong to a group of plunge waterfalls. It is not that popular as the Balls waterfalls, but it is as tall. Water is running over the bedrock at a very steep angle, and keeps the contact with the rock all the time. Rockway Falls is an easy to visit waterfall if you go just east of Ball's Falls.
