Bridal Veil Falls

The Bridal Veil Falls cascades down 55 meters between Luna Island and Goat Island, forming part of the American section of Niagara Falls.

Indigenous peoples considered this cascade sacred for generations before European settlers arrived and documented its presence in the early seventeenth century.

The cascade earned its name from the distinctive white mist pattern created by water falling over the vertical cliff, resembling a traditional wedding veil.

Visitors can experience the falls up close through the Cave of the Winds tour, which provides waterproof gear and access to wooden walkways.

During winter months, ice formations around the falls create natural sculptures, while the continuous flow of water maintains movement behind the frozen exterior.
