Why you should go…

An elevator and short tunnel deliver you to the floor of the Niagara Gorge, where a quarter-mile boardwalk hugs the edge of the Whirlpool Rapids. Here the entire flow of the Niagara River funnels through a narrow channel, throwing up Class 6 whitewater with standing waves that tower overhead. Viewing platforms put you within feet of the churn, and interpretive panels explain the 410-million-year-old rock layers exposed in the gorge walls. Flat, accessible, and genuinely jaw-dropping.
