Niagara Falls Photo Gallery

Niagara Falls consists of several waterfalls on the Niagara River. This drop in elevation results from the flow of water down from Lake Superior to Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and towards the Atlantic on the St. Lawrence River. The Falls are located between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and straddle the Canada-US border. Since the Great Lakes are heavily used for transportation, ships need to detour around the Falls using the Welland Canal, whose lock system was built to handle the elevation drop between the 2 lakes. The Welland Canal is located in Canada west of the Niagara River.
