Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, Ontario is approximately 1.5 hours or 78 miles (125km) outside of Toronto. This famous spot offers a vast array of year-round activities for the entire family. Niagara is well known for its majestic and world-famous waterfalls that pump six million cubic feet of waterfall over the crest line every minute in its highest flow. It is the most powerful waterfall in North America and is renowned both its beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. The falls can be experienced on foot or by boat and many tour companies arm you with a rain slicker to fight the massive spray they emit. Other than visiting the falls themselves, Niagara boasts beautifully maintained biking and walking trails that line the water's massive, surrounding gorge. After you take in the spectacular scenery, visit Niagara's shops, cafes and cozy accommodations.
