Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is a great place. You can visit the falls - you can go behind the falls and even ride a boat called the "Maid of the Mist". The Maid of the Mist is named after an ancient aboriginal woman who fled her village and road over the falls in a canoe. Her name was Lelawalo.

The Niagara Escarpment is a long, high, steep rock cliff that runs from Manitoulin Island in the north, through Ontario to Niagara and into the United States. Niagara Falls is the point where the water in the Niagara River flows over the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The Niagara River connects two of the Great Lakes - Erie and Ontario.
