About Horseshoe Falls

Horseshoe Falls is the largest and most powerful of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls, creating the destination’s famous curved curtain of rushing water. Located along the Canada–United States border, the Falls can be viewed from several spectacular vantage points on the Canadian side, where visitors can stand remarkably close to the brink.

✨ What to Know

Also known as the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the waterfall measures approximately 670 metres (2,200 feet) across and drops about 57 metres (187 feet) into the Niagara Gorge below. An enormous volume of water flows over its crest, producing the powerful roar and clouds of mist that have made Niagara Falls famous around the world.

💡 Best Places to See the Falls

One of the closest viewpoints is beside Table Rock Centre, where the Niagara Parkway follows the edge of the Niagara Gorge. Visitors can also experience Horseshoe Falls from Journey Behind the Falls, Niagara City Cruises, Skylon Tower, and viewpoints throughout Queen Victoria Park.

🌟 Helpful Tips

Visit during daylight to appreciate the colour and power of the water, then return after sunset when the Falls are illuminated in changing colours. Expect plenty of mist near the brink, especially on windy days, and leave time to walk along the Niagara Parkway for different perspectives of Horseshoe Falls and the surrounding Niagara Gorge.
