Niagara Falls is the collective name of three waterfalls called the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Viel Falls. They are connected on the international border between Canada and the United States. The average annual rate of water falling is 85,000 cubic feet per second. Famous tourist attractions include the Hornblower Niagara Cruises and the Maid of the Mist boat-cruise, that has carried passengers into the rapids below the falls since 1846.
