• Whirlpool State Park is a day-use area that provides a playground, picnic tables and pavilions, hiking and biking paths, a nature trail, opportunities for fishing, and cross-country skiing. The visitor's center operates during the summer from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday. A stone staircase within the park leads down to the Niagara Gorge; a 300-foot (91 m) section of this staircase was refurbished in 2016. The park connects to Devil's Hole State Park via the Devil's Hole Trail at the bottom of the gorge, as well as a trail that runs along the rim of the gorge, creating a complete loop. This segment is a drive-by, non-stop unless requested. • Niagara Falls State Park, situated in the City of Niagara Falls in Niagara County, New York, is the oldest state park in the United States and encompasses the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and a portion of the Horseshoe Falls (also known as the Canadian Falls). • Bridal Veil Falls, the smallest of the three waterfalls that constitute Niagara Falls, is found on the American side in New York. It is separated from American Falls by Luna Island and from Horseshoe Falls by Goat Island. The falls face northwest and have a crest width of 56 ft (17 m). Being relatively small, the Bridal Veil Falls has a vertical drop of 78 ft (24 m), followed by water cascading down the boulders to the Maid of the Mist pool, which is 103 ft (31 m) lower. The overall vertical drop reaches 181 ft (55 m), with the crest elevation at 508 ft (155 m). • The Three Sisters Islands are located off the southern shoreline of Goat Island and are part of Niagara Falls, New York. Accessed from Goat Island, these islands lie just beyond the Canada/U.S. border. They are named after Celinda, Angelina, and Asenath Whitney, the daughters of General Parkhurst Whitney, an early settler of Niagara Falls, New York, who is also buried in Oakwood Cemetery. General Whitney is known for establishing the Cataract House Hotel near the upper rapids above the falls, and his daughters are believed to have been the first pioneers to visit the islands. • Horseshoe Falls, also referred to as Canadian Falls, is the largest of the three waterfalls that form Niagara Falls along the Niagara River at the Canada–United States border. About 90% of the flow of the Niagara River, after being diverted for hydropower, descends over Horseshoe Falls, while the remaining 10% flows over American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. It is situated between Terrapin Point on Goat Island in New York and Table Rock in Ontario, Canada. • American Falls is the second-largest waterfall that makes up Niagara Falls, entirely located within the United States. In contrast to the much larger Horseshoe Falls, which is primarily in Ontario, Canada, and partially in New York, the American Falls lies solely within U.S. territory. • Goat Island, previously known as Iris Island, is a small island in the Niagara River, situated between Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. It is located in the southwest corner of Niagara Falls, New York, and is included in Niagara Falls State Park. Goat Island does not have any residents but serves as a popular destination for tourists visiting the U.S. side of the falls. It features several viewpoints, including Terrapin Point. The island is accessible via two bridges for pedestrians, vehicles, and trackless trains, as well as a pedestrian bridge to neighboring Luna Island by the American Falls. Goat Island is mostly wooded with numerous walking paths, and the Cave of the Winds tour elevator provides access to the base of the falls. • The Prospect Point Observation Tower, known as the Niagara Falls Observation Tower, is located in Niagara Falls, New York, just east
