Niagara Falls State Park preserves one of North America's most renowned natural wonders, which rush more than six million cubic feet of water per minute over a cliff on the majestic Niagara River. The park, which is located just north of the city of Buffalo at the Canada-United States border, has long been one of New York's most acclaimed romantic getaways, known throughout the world as a popular honeymoon or second honeymoon destination. Couples can ride the legendary Maid of the Mist tour boat right up to the edge of massive Horseshoe Falls for one-of-a-kind perspectives or look out from the Prospect Point Observation Tower for views of the falls from above.
Visitor attractions line both the Canadian and American sides of the falls, ranging from favorite restaurant chains like Hard Rock Cafe and Rainforest Cafe to family-friendly attractions like the Aquarium of Niagara.
