Niagara Falls were formed around 12000 years ago. It once saw 5 billion gallons of fresh water pass through it until in 1893 Hydro Electric Power (HEP) began claiming half of it. Nowadays the Falls are the biggest producer of HEP in the world.

Niagara is a popular tourist destination with approximately 18 million visitors a year. Tourism here began it is estimated in the 1820's and became hugely popular fifty years from then as it became the region's main industry. Since then, Niagara is gradually becoming developed to tune in to a high tourist need. Alongside the delights of the Falls, local attractions including boat rides and tours such as the Maid of the Mist, theme parks, museums, local places of historical interest, the Fort Erie Racetrack and 40 golf courses are now available for holidaymakers.

Visit Niagara during the winter months and you'll be guaranteed some extra treats. During the months of November and December bird watchers descend to observe the thousands of gulls and terns who fly to the falls every winter. Also recommended during the cold season is the Ice Bridge when the Falls freeze for a period of time. This is a thing of exceptional beauty. Also, last but not least from November to the beginning of January, the Falls are illuminated at night time. When you are packing your raincoat, don't forget to pack the camera!
