Slapovi Niagare

Slapovi Niagare (engleski Niagara Falls) predstavljaju niz od tri vodopada na rijeci Niagari, smještenih u istočnom dijelu Sjeverne Amerike na granici između SAD i Kanade.

Iako ne naročito visoki, slapovi Niagare predstavljaju jedne od najširih i najmoćnijih vodopada na svijetu.

Poznati su po svojoj ljepoti te služe kao popularna turistička destinacija i izvor hidroelektrične energije. Na suprotnim obalama su smješteni gradovi-blizanci Niagara Falls, New York i Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Niagara, što znaći "voda što grmi",naziv je koji su ovom moćnom slapu, koji dana tvori spektakularnu granicu između SAD-a i Kanade, nadjenuli američki Indijanci. Od jezera Erie rijeka Niagara mirno teče gotovo 56km, no u blizini jezera Ontario pretvara seu brzace koji užurbano jure prema kataraktu u magli vodene prašine i duga. potom slijedi dramatićan pad od otprilike 50metara u kojem se bujicauz grmljavinu strmoglavljuje u podivljahu pjenu kao da pada u ponor bez dna. Otok Goat, na rubu kaskade, rijeku dijeli na dva djela. Američki slapovi na istočnoj stranai tvore ravnu crtu dugu oko 300metara, a kanadski slapovi Horseshoe, (Slapovi potkove) dvostruko su duži i, kako im i ime govori, imaju oblik potkove.

Nikola Tesla imao je velike zasluge za izgradnju prve hidrocentrale na Nijagarimnim vodopadima.

The view is amazing. Come later in the day so you can stick around for the fall lighting show, and fireworks if there are any. Boat tour recommend! Cheap parking just past the Skylon tower parking.

Best place to view the falls. Walk the entire length for some nice scenery. Lots of tourists around in your way though. Don't be that guy who stops his car in the road for pictures. Pay for parking.

If you like photography, the tower on the Canadian side has the best view. Winter is the best time to visit. People don't like the cold so you an get great shots without tourists crossing your path

This is rather a mini Las Vegas than a city around the falls now already. What more is to come? Perfect place to party in the night if you have the budget for it.

Amazing!!! Beautiful during the day and amazing during the night with the LED Lights changing colors on the Falls. Loved it!

Hotels and restaurants around Niagara Falls are not too expensive and the food is high quality with excellent service. The Falls are magnificent and worth it to see.
