Niagara Civil War Monument - Here stands the Niagara Civil War Monument. Despite being far north, the Civil War had a significant impact here in Niagara Falls. Surprisingly, Niagara Falls was a vital stop on the Underground Railroad before the war! Formerly enslaved individuals seeking freedom would arrive here as their final stop before crossing the border into the safety of Canada.
-
Niagara Falls Observation Tower - We are now on the Niagara Falls Observation Tower, towering 282 feet above the ground. If you have tickets for the Maid of the Mist, the elevators in this building will take you down to the boat docks. Before boarding, explore the main observation deck ahead through the enclosed area.
-
Prospect Point - Welcome to one of Niagara Falls’ most iconic viewpoints: Prospect Point. Feel free to approach the railing for a closer view! On July 28, 1954, a British newsreel captured a remarkable natural event here, known as the Prospect Point Rockfall. The day before, a nine-year-old boy noticed cracks in the ground and alerted others about the point’s stability.
-
Hells Half Acre - We are crossing the rapids known as Hell’s Half Acre. Spooky! This site witnessed one of Niagara Falls’ most infamous tragedies. On the evening of July 18, 1853, three men who had been drinking were rowing from Goat Island to the mainland. Unfortunately, their boat capsized, and the river swept them downstream.
-
Luna Island - Although small and uninhabited, this island is perfectly positioned between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, offering an intimate view of Bridal Veil Falls. It’s as if you’re standing right on top of them, just at the river’s edge. It can be a bit daunting if you’re not fond of heights!
-
Nikola Tesla Monument - Observe the statue of the man who seems to be reading a large map. That’s Nikola Tesla. Upon closer inspection, you’ll see he’s wearing rubber overalls, a common protective garment for engineers in the twentieth century against electric shock. Look even closer, and you’ll realize the large paper is not a map; it’s blueprints! This statue honors Nikola Tesla’s contributions to the hydroelectric advancements at Niagara Falls.
-
Cave of the Winds Lookout - Cave of the Winds Lookout provides stunning views of the Bridal Veil Falls. “Views” is an understatement. At the lookout, you can taste, smell, hear, and be drenched by the waterfall, even if you try to stay dry. Visitors receive an iconic yellow poncho, known as the yellow sou’wester, but the lookout is so close to the falls that few escape the chilling spray of water misting up from where the falls crash onto the rocks below.
-
Terrapin Point - Welcome to Terrapin Point, the closest American lookout to the Horseshoe Falls. If you look directly across to the observation point on the other side, you might see people on the Canadian side admiring the same wonder as you. It’s like a reflection!
-
Three Sisters Islands - Through the lush greenery to our right, you might catch a glimpse of Three Sisters Islands. Before European settlement, these islands held great importance for the Indigenous peoples of the region, particularly the Iroquois Confederacy. They regarded the falls and the surrounding area as sacred, and the islands played a significant role in their ceremonies and rituals.
