Niagara Falls is a massive waterfall located on the Niagara River on the border between the United States and Canada. The most powerful waterfall in North America - Niagara is actually a reservoir of three waterfalls: The Horse Sue Falls or Horse-shaped Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. It is sandwiched between American Falls, Prospect Point and Luna Island, on the one hand, and Bridal Vail Falls, on the other, between Luna Island and Got Island. Canadian or Horse flows through Sue Falls, Got Island and Table Rock.

Niagara itself is a river about 12,000 years old. 18,000 years ago the southern part of Ontario had a 2-3 km thick ice-cover. Over time and as a result of regular tropical changes, ice caps begin to melt and large amounts of water accumulate in the Great Lakes Basin. All the water from Lake Erie, the Niagara River, and Lake Ontario contributes to this waterfall. Niagara Falls is the second largest waterfall in the world.

Every day, Niagara Falls flows more than 6 million cubic feet of water per minute. Whose average volume is 40 lakh cubic feet. Niagara is one of the main sources of hydropower in New York and Ontario. In other words, the waterfall has helped in the development of industry and trade and strengthened the revenue collection of the state by the emerging tourism industry.

Many people try various dangerous stunts in waterfalls. Some of them avoided death, while many died in accidents while performing activities. Among the various dakabukos at Niagara Falls, a few prominent ones are - Nick Wallendra - who was a titropot walker (running on a hanging rope) who performed dangerous acrobatics or stunts in 2012. The first person to escape death at the waterfall was Mrs. Anne Taylor, a swimmer - William Kendall, Maria Spelternia - the only woman to cross the waterfall on a hanging rope.
