Niagara Gorge, Natural canyon between Ontario and New York.
The Niagara Gorge extends 11 kilometers along the United States-Canada border, featuring steep cliffs rising 1,200 feet above the Niagara River.
The formation of Niagara Gorge began approximately 13,000 years ago when the melting ice sheets created the powerful river that carved through multiple rock layers.
The Niagara Gorge serves as an international boundary between two nations, drawing millions of visitors from both countries to examine its geological features.
Visitors can access 24 kilometers of hiking trails along the gorge from multiple entry points, including Whirlpool State Park and Devil's Hole State Park.
The Niagara Whirlpool, located within the gorge, creates a natural basin where waters rotate counterclockwise before continuing their journey northward.
