•  Niagara Falls is located in the Province of Ontario and the state of New York.
• The height of Niagara Falls is 176 feet ( because of the rocks at the bottom of the fall, the actual fall is 76 feet).
• The falls never stop flowing but ice forms along the banks of the falls and river.  Sometimes the ice is 50 feet deep.
• There are two waterfalls - Horseshoe Falls and American Falls - that form Niagara Falls.
• In 1969, the falls completely stopped because they had to move a large amount of loose rocks.
• The word "Niagara" came from the Iroquois Indian word "Onguiaahra", which means "the strait".
• The "ice-boom" is a long floating chain of steel floats strung across the Niagara River from New York to Fort Erie, Ontario. It is set in place during December and removed in March or April.
• The water flow on the American side of the falls has much less strength because of Goat Island, where as Horseshoe Falls has no obstruction to divert it.
