The
Niagara Falls are the most powerful
waterfalls in North America.
[1] These voluminous waterfalls are situated on the
Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario and forms the
international border between the
Canadian province of
Ontario and the
U.S. state of
New York. The falls are 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of
Buffalo, New York and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of
Toronto, Ontario, between the
twin cities of
Niagara Falls, Ontario, and
Niagara Falls, New York.
