Trang 4Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonnders, has long been a
popular tourist destination Tourists today flock to see the ttwo falls that actually constitute
Niagara Falls: the 173-foot-high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Naigara River in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 183-foott-high American Falls on the U.S side of the river
in the state of New York Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over Americant Falls
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a
steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for the close-up view It is also
possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the Naigara River, such as Prospect Point of Table Rock, or from one of the four observation towers which have heights up to 500 feet
Tourists have been visiting Naigara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annual visitation now averages above 10 million visitors per year Because of conncern that all these tourists would inadvertantly destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the state of New York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land surrounding American Falls
A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian sides of the Naigara, around
Horseshoe Falls With the area surrounding the falls under the jurisdiction of government agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve the pristine beauty of the area.
