Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls, is located on the Canadian side of the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA. Known for its distinct curved shape, Horseshoe Falls is a major attraction with powerful flows that make it both breathtaking and humbling to witness. The falls are easy to access, with viewpoints reachable by car, and nearby trails offer scenic perspectives.
