Niagara Falls is the name given for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States.
The three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie mostly on the Canadian side and the American Falls entirely on the American side, separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American side, separated from the other waterfalls by Luna Island.
Located on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 50 Meters (165 ft). The falls are located 27 Kilometres (17 miles) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 121 Kilometres (75 miles) south-southeast of Toronto.
