Horseshoe Falls
The Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls, is part of Niagara Falls, on the Niagara River. Approximately 90% of the Niagara River, after diversions for hydropower generation, flows over Horseshoe Falls. The remaining 10% flows over the American Falls. It is located between Terrapin Point on Goat Island in New York State, and Table Rock on the Ontario side of the falls. Much of Horseshoe Falls is located in Ontario, Canada with the remainder in New York State, United States of America.
The name is derived from its curving, horseshoe-shaped crest that is 671 metres in width. At the center of the Horseshoe Falls the water is about 3 metres deep. It passes over the crest at a speed of about 32 kilometres per hour. The fall is 53 metres high, has an average crest elevation of 152 metres and faces northwards. The depth of the river at the base of the falls, estimated at 56 metres, is actually higher than the fall itself.
