The largest and most powerful of the three Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side of the border with the United States, where the Niagara River drops about fifty metres along a curve of nearly seven hundred metres shaped like a horseshoe, which gives it its name. Most of the Niagara River's water flows over this fall, throwing up a thick mist like a cloud visible from afar, with rainbows forming on sunny days. From the Table Rock platform visitors stand metres from the edge of the roaring water. Parks and a promenade run along the Canadian bank with view after view of all three falls. Every night the falls are lit in changing colours, and on summer evenings fireworks are held above them. Viewing the falls from the promenade is free at any time, with fees for nearby activities such as boat cruises and the tunnels. Bring a waterproof jacket, as you will almost certainly get wet near the edge.
