• Niagara Civil War Monument - This is the Niagara Civil War Monument. Despite being far north, the Civil War significantly impacted Niagara Falls. It was a vital stop on the Underground Railroad before the war! Formerly enslaved individuals seeking freedom would come here as their final stop before crossing into the safety of Canada.

• Niagara Falls Observation Tower - We are on the Niagara Falls Observation Tower, standing 282 feet above the ground. If tickets for the Maid of the Mist were purchased, the elevators in this building lead to the boat docks. Before boarding, explore the main observation deck ahead through the enclosed area.

• Prospect Point - Here is one of Niagara Falls’ most iconic viewpoints: Prospect Point. Feel free to approach the railing for a closer view! On July 28, 1954, a British newsreel captured a remarkable natural event here, known as the Prospect Point Rockfall. The day before, a nine-year-old boy noticed ground cracks and alerted about the point’s stability.

• Hells Half Acre - We are crossing rapids known as Hell’s Half Acre. Spooky! This site witnessed one of Niagara Falls’ most infamous tragedies. On the evening of July 18, 1853, three men, after drinking, were rowing from Goat Island to the mainland. Unfortunately, their boat capsized, sending them downstream.

• Luna Island - This small, uninhabited island is perfectly situated between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, offering an intimate view of Bridal Veil Falls. It feels like standing right on top of them, just at the river’s edge. It can be a bit daunting if heights are not your thing!

• Nikola Tesla Monument - Notice the statue of the man appearing to read a large map? That’s Nikola Tesla. Look closely, and you’ll see he is wearing rubber overalls, typical for engineers in the twentieth century to protect against electric shock. Upon closer inspection, the large paper is not a map; it’s blueprints! This statue honors Nikola Tesla’s contributions to the hydroelectric efforts at Niagara Falls.

• Cave of the Winds Lookout - Cave of the Winds Lookout provides stunning views of the Bridal Veil Falls. “Views” is an understatement. At the lookout, you can taste, smell, hear, and be drenched by the waterfall, even if trying to stay dry. Visitors receive an iconic yellow poncho, known as the yellow sou’wester, but the lookout is so close to the falls that few escape the chilling spray of water misting up from where the falls crash onto the rocks below.

• Terrapin Point - Welcome to Terrapin Point. It’s the closest American viewpoint to the Horseshoe Falls. Looking straight across to the observation point on the other side, you may see people on the Canadian side admiring the same wonder. It’s like a reflection!

• Three Sisters Islands - Through the dense greenery to our right, you might glimpse Three Sisters Islands. Before European settlement, these islands were significant to the Indigenous peoples of the region, especially the Iroquois Confederacy. They regarded the falls and surrounding area as sacred, and the islands played a crucial role in their ceremonies and rituals.
