Niagara Falls: Canada's Largest Waterfall by Volume

Niagara Falls, straddling the Ontario–New York border, is Canada's largest waterfall by volume—and one of the world's greatest. It comprises three falls:

  • Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Falls): 57 m (188 ft) high, 790 m (2,590 ft) wide; ~90% of flow.
  • American Falls: 21–34 m (70–110 ft) high, 320 m (1,050 ft) wide.
  • Bridal Veil Falls: Small, narrow, beside American Falls.

Combined flow averages 2,400 m³/s (85,000 ft³/s). The Horseshoe Falls alone is North America's most powerful waterfall. Niagara generates huge hydroelectric power and draws 12+ million visitors annually.
