Sep 21 | Niagara Falls State Park

After a hearty breakfast, you are off to explore Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest State Park in the U.S. The history of Niagara Falls goes back thousands of years to the Ice Age, when large torrents of water were released from the melting ice, draining into what is now known as the Niagara River. Discovered in 1678, Niagara Falls became one of America’s first icons. The development of the rail system in the 1800’s opened Niagara Falls to throngs of visitors and made it a prime destination for travelers from all over the world. Today, Hydroelectricity is one of Niagara Fall’s most important products. Together, power plants on both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls have the capacity to produce up to 2.4 million kilowatts of electricity. Under an international treaty, the flow of water over Niagara Falls is reduced during the night to allow more of the water to flow into the intakes used for power generation. This plan ensures that the Falls natural beauty remains unaffected during prime viewing hours. Your morning starts with one of the highlights of this tour as you embark on the Maid of the Mist boat tour. The boat navigates past the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls. Next, walk right up to the base of the Falls during your Cave of the Winds tour, located on Goat Island at Niagara Falls State Park. This exciting tour outfits you in a hooded raincoat and sandals and takes you into a cave and then along a catwalk near the foot of the falls for an up-close, wet, and very rewarding view of the thunderous, cascading waters. After free time for lunch and shopping on Old Falls Street, you will visit the Underground Railroad Heritage Center. Here you will learn about the rich stories of the Underground Railroad in Niagara Falls, the crucial role played by its location, geography, and the actions of its residents – particularly its African American residents. Before returning to your hotel, stop at Whirlpool State Park and enjoy spectacular views of the Niagara Whirlpool and rapids. The remainder of the day is at leisure.
