Not as impressive as the Horseshoe Falls. However a vast amount of water goes over them (you get an idea of how much on the US bank as can get close to them.
Large rocks below them as the erode back so boats cannot get in as close as to the Horseshoe. However they still produce plenty of spray.
The smaller Bridal Falls is alongside them separated by a small island.

The American Falls are a sight to behold, but not as spectacular as the Horseshoe Falls just a bit further down the River.

The American falls are the smaller of the two falls at Niagara. Having sai that they are still very impressive but don't have the majesty of The Horseshoe falls

FIrstly - I don't know why the address for this is Canada - it's clearly the American Falls. Anyway, it's amazing how close you can get to the falls. The water is speeding past and often the spray is creating rainbows.

The American Falls..smaller of the two Falls at Niagra, but just as powerful, this one however has a bit of erosion of the bank below, so plenty of rocks...the boat couldn't get as up close as the Horseshoe one, but you do feel the effects of the sprays nonetheless.

Whilst not quite as awe inspiring as the Horseshoe falls the combined effect is amazing. These falls are also just as incredible and have just as amazing a feel.

The American Falls are a majestic Waterfalls in their own right. It is important to remember that the American and Canadian Falls both come from the same River. If you keep in mind that the combined Water Volume is Truly Extraordinary

Niagara Falls is comprised of both the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. While not as spectacular as the Horseshoe falls, the American Falls is still a beautiful sight and can be experienced as you stroll along the promenade on the Canadian side of the river.
