April 2002 Trip

It snowed the night after our visit!
Everything that you want to do in this town costs money. If you want to park your car to see the falls, it's $10. Then you pay again to walk down to the river edge. The part of the town by the falls seems to be one big circus - tons of horror houses and food vendors.

Here is the whirlpool. The water level was low at this time of the year. How the water flows thru the whirlpool changes with the amount of water.
Here are the falls on the USA side of the river.

Lastly before the falls, on the Canadian side, there is a big hydro dam. This picture was taken near sundown.
