Waterfall Park and Hikes in St. Catharines

"Devil’s Punchbowl Conservation Area consists of an incredible geologic wonder, the gorge, and its waterfalls. The Devil’s Punch Bowl formed at the end of the last ice age when huge meltwater rivers plunged over the escarpment. There are many colourful layers of rocks in the gorge, such as Cabot Head grey shale, Queenston Formation red shale, shale dolomite and limestone."

"This tall thin waterfall pours over a deep multi-coloured gorge that's a history lesson in geology and one of the most stunning natural formations along the Niagara Escarpment. Look for the huge cross perched nearby for more spectacular views of Stoney Creek and Hamilton Harbour."

"This one might be a bit on the difficult side for young families, but we thought we would include it for the picture alone. Aside from the unique rock formations, a variety of birds can be seen in the vicinity."

"The Canadian side of the falls are known as the Horseshoe Falls and are over 50 metres high and have 2,271,247 liters of water pushed over the edge every second.

"If you want to enjoy a day of snow tubing, ice skating or sledding, head to the Snow Park Niagara Falls to play on man-made snow hills and synthetic ice surface. In addition to the Snowzone Play Area, the park offers snowboarding, skiing trails and a miniature golf course. As of February 2010, tickets for visitors 13 years and up were $20 and tickets for visitors between 5 and 12 years of age were $18."

"The park is full of attractions that do cost money, but you can simply go to view the Falls free of charge. If you visit the Falls at night, you will see the water lit up with LED lights. During special events, the water will flash specific colors."

"American Falls is the northernmost waterfall in Niagara Falls State Park. It is 830 feet wide and has a total drop of 188 feet (though only 70-110 feet of that is a freefall drop, depending on the rock pile at the base of the falls). There are several good viewing areas for American Falls including from Luna Island and from the viewing area near the Maid of the Mist store."

"During the 12-minute flight, you’ll fly right over Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, see the rapids and Rainbow Bridge alongside the giant whirlpool. It really is a unique way to see Niagara Falls."

"The American Falls is the second-largest of the three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls on the Niagara River along the Canada–U.S. border."

"Though the waterfalls themselves (Niagara Falls actually comprises three waterfalls, the American, the Canadian and the more meagre Bridal Veil falls) are the big draw, there's a whole lot else going on in the Niagara Region, so you'll want to devote a full day: 8 hours minimum, considering the drive each way is 90 minutes. If you have your own car, follow our directions for getting from Toronto to Niagara Falls. If you are a wine enthusiast or just to take in some striking scenery, allow time to visit the Niagara Wine Region just off the highway on your way to Niagara Falls. The wine route is well mapped out and plenty of signs will show you where to exit to visit any one of the more than 100 wineries."

"Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls in the park. In fact, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s actually part of American Falls because there is only a very small island, Luna Island, separating this waterfall from its neighbor. Bridal Veil Falls is about 55 feet wide, which would make it a major waterfall almost anywhere else in New York, but it’s nearly an afterthought here."

"The smallest of the three waterfalls that comprise world-famous Niagara Falls, Bridal Veil Falls is anything but small. Located on the US side of the falls, the 56-foot-wide (17-meter-wide) waterfall thunders over a 78-foot (24-meter) drop. Its frothy white cascade is reminiscent of a bride’s veil, hence the falls’ name.More"
