Niagara Falls is a large waterfall that was formed from the Wisconsin glaciation in the ice age. As the most powerful waterfall in North America, Niagara Falls pushes over 6 million cubic feet of water over the falls each minute. Besides the falls, there are several landmarks that attract tourists and residents daily.

Niagara Falls

A natural landmark, the Niagara Falls is composed of three falls---the American, Horseshoe, and Bridal Veil Falls, the smallest. The falls lie between two countries---the United States and Canada.

Floral Clock

The Floral Clock is a centralized landmark that is a common meeting place for tourists. This 20th-century clock is surrounded by thousands of blooming annuals and offers a relaxing space for people-watching.
