Niagara Falls State Park is located in the State of New York on the American shore of Niagara Falls.

Founded in 1885, it is the largest and oldest state park in America.

As a major tourist destination, the park is becoming a huge economic resource. In fact, Niagara Falls State Park is the only place on the US side of the waterfalls that reveals the magnificent view of the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls, and part of Horseshoe Falls. This makes it a must-see for all tourists who want to see Niagara Falls from America.

The purpose of creating this main tourist destination (created as Niagara Reservation) is to protect the nature around the Niagara River. Although this goal remains to this day, visitors have the opportunity not only to have a walk, but also to visit exhibitions and other events, have a picnic in a relaxed atmosphere, or have fun with one of the many attractions.
