Terrapin Point @ Niagara Falls State Park

#usatravel #newyork Niagara Falls has always been at the top of our must-visit list. It is one of the largest waterfalls in the world, located on the border between the United States and Canada. Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. The height of the falls varies between 70 to 188 feet (21 to 57 meters). Horseshoe Falls is about 2,600 feet (790 meters) wide, while American Falls is about 1,060 feet (320 meters) wide. On average, about 85,000 cubic feet (2,400 cubic meters) of water flows over Niagara Falls every second. We still couldn't believe the sheer volume of water even after seeing it with our own eyes. We visited Terrapin Point, located on Goat Island, which is part of Niagara Falls State Park. Goat Island divides the Niagara River before it plunges over the falls. This spot provides a direct view of the American Falls and part of the Horseshoe Falls, allowing us to see the falls up close. What an incredible view! We highly recommend anyone visiting Niagara Falls to check this place out.
