American Falls – Waterfall, Niagara, NY, USA
American Falls is the second largest with an edge length of 250 meters and a height of 57 meters (measured from the edge to the river). Natural forces formed the waterfall in a W-shape.
An interesting historical fact is that in 1969 the flow of the waterfall was stopped for a couple of months so that geologists could study the effect of erosion and how it will affect the future survival of the waterfall.
Regardless of the season in which you visit Niagara Falls, there is always something to see. During the warmer months, all attractions are open. In the winter months, you can enjoy the view of the so-called “frozen waterfalls” and the huge pieces of ice floating on the Niagara River.
