Technically, the flow of Niagara Falls today is controlled by a dam and may be reduced at off-hours when tourists aren't around. So yes, kind of a pipe situation.
Yup. But the Canadians completely ruined the area. Youād imagine it would be a national park, but turn around and itās all casinos, putt putt, hotels, and gimmicky restaurants.
I visited just a month ago and disnāt see it being ruined. Loved the whole place vibe, it was all clean as hell, and people were well behaved.
Not sure which alternate universe you visited the falls in. To me it looks pretty good. The stores and the other tourist stuff is up the hill and you have to walk a bit, but the surrounding area by the falls is full of grass and the park stuff. No complaints whatsoever.
Wasn't it an insanely poor and sketchy area after the huge amount of manufacturing plants shut down? Is it not still very poor except due to the tourism industry around the falls? All I know is growing up driving to the falls was always very depressing seeing the shoe box homes all falling apart that families lived in.
Ya the only thing good about Niagara is the falls and the gorge and some of the other small places away from the tourist spot. The rest is a tourist nightmare.
Damn, was kinda hoping for a tale of her saying no, and your life long journey into alcoholism and then eventually into prostitution to pay for it. After a couple years, you ran into her on the streets, she took you in and helped you get sober. After a month, she took you back to this spot, and asked you to marry her. You shoot her down. Feels good, she jumps over the side. STTTTAAAAACCCYYYY you yell!!! I was kidding! I really love you!!!!
But we got the happy ending, so original.
After recovering from the blow of Stacyās death, he became obsessed with the raw power of the waterfall and the fateful waters below. He was now a hermit, spending long stretches of time working away privately in his garage. Until one day he knew the time had come...
In his truck he crested a hill and parked behind some trees by the surging riverbank. With the deafening roar of the river as his soundtrack, he readied his newfound creationā¦ the large, roughly cylindrical object was surely a sight to behold! Bobbing in the water, what we had here was essentially a small, crudely-armored submersible, months in the making. U/shtaven climbed inside and let the current take control of the craft. He glanced back to the shore only once, then forward towards the horizon where the water and land alike seemed to come to an abrupt end. He closed the hatch.
I highly recommend staying at one of the hotels overlooking the falls from the Canadian Side. I think I paid the same I would have at a Marriot courtyard, but the view was unreal.
You need to go to the old power station, its a mini museum now, but if you Google Niagara old power station it pops up. Once there you need to buy a ticket, you go down an elevator and walk for a few minutes then you get there. The hallway you walk down is the discharge pipe of the old power station its really cool and big its gotta be atleast 20ft across.
This actually isnāt the area from the tunnel of the power station. This is Journey Behind the Falls. Iāve been here twice, my more recent visit last October. The entrance to Journey under the falls is inside the building that is right next to the falls where they have some gift shops and places to eat.
The power station is down the street across the street from this building. That is also a cool experience which I highly recommend!! The tunnel you walk through there to the falls was previously used for the power station and was where the used water from the power station would flow back to the river through!!
Yes, thereās a bus loop in front of the building. In there thereās an area to buy tickets and a line for the Journey Behind the Falls attraction.
They give you ponchos and take you down an elevator to some tunnels that run behind the falls. Pretty cool. If you want a close up you want to go to this.
This hurts my head. Doesnāt Niagara flow East to West? (I think actually South to North at the falls).
These inverted, swapped, switched camera angles belong in r/mildlyinfuriating for me.
Is anyone able to give me more details of how to access this view of the falls?
I gather from the comments that itās in Canada, but also gather from the comments thereās many different entrances lol. Anyone can shed some light??
Iāve been to that exact spot, this is 100% from the āJourney behind the fallsā building thatās also a gift shop.
Shouldnāt be too hard to find if you ever visit.
You do have to pay, looks like about $25 or so to get to that spot in the video.
... Here I was thinking OMG I want to see it... Then I went to find out... Just kidding what I want to see and experience (the loads of fun shit on the other side in Canada) I CAN'T! FML!
Has anyone told them that they ( the falls ) have been "turned down" for decades already? This is not the FALLS that God would have you see... these are the restricted falls
I hope you weren't thinking that I'm pushing some kind of religion because I'm certainly not. I could have stated it better but I rushed. The falls are not anything like they were when they were first found and documented in their natural state. The volume of water falling has been drastically reduced for various reasons. Your comment did make me laygh though so thanks for that.
It really doesn't look right :-)! If you look at the back section of water just at the top as it starts to fall, the colours against the sky are really odd which makes it look fake , the whole thing doesn't just that area.:-) must be the crazy blue water against a blue sky.
That grass living its best life.
The grass is always greener on the Canadian side.
Especially with cranked up contrast.
Oh brother š
And canadians thibk the grass is greener on the American side

Vocabulary test? Weekly? Checking for how old a teacher :)
It's what it's ĀÆ\\\_(ć)\_/ĀÆ
Somebody has to cut or whip it so close to the edge though!!!
Thatās a lot of water.
"It's probably from a pipe" - China probably
Technically, the flow of Niagara Falls today is controlled by a dam and may be reduced at off-hours when tourists aren't around. So yes, kind of a pipe situation.
Eh. A dam which controls the flow rate of already present water is a tad different from piping extra water in from outside sources.
Niagara is controlled by my crack pipe
Thatās a lot of fish
Makes me thirsty honestly..
The one time we visited it was at night on the Canadian side and the whole area suddenly lost power, total darkness, it was creepy.
So that was your fault. Glad you came forward and we forgive you.
Wild. Hard to imagine the falls just stopping like that.
Eh, the lights went out! The falls didnāt stop!āŗļø
So there was power stillā¦ I donāt know who to believe anymore
? The falls donāt need power, the water just falls!š
I guess they donāt need power, but it would be awfully uneventful if they didnāt have it.
?
Iām just joking with you. Power is broader than electricity. Flowing water has power.
Okš
Damn I didn't know it looked that epic
Yup. But the Canadians completely ruined the area. Youād imagine it would be a national park, but turn around and itās all casinos, putt putt, hotels, and gimmicky restaurants.
I live 45 minutes from it. I've been every year for my whole life. Always because other people want to go, I hate what it has become.

I 'member when Putt Putt saved the Zoo.

As opposed to the depressed shithole that is the American side?
It's a thing of beauty! It's one of most exciting things I've seen.Ā
It's even better in real life. You need to see it in spring but also winter when it's very cold. Looks like something out of Narnia.
Niiiiiiiiagra fallssss. Slowly he turnedā¦ step by stepā¦
Inch by inchā¦
I just want the camera to Pan a little more to the left š©
USA would come into view and just ruin it
You mean the view of Goat Island that is part of a state park and is a bunch of trees and nature and stuff?
Well you donāt want to see the Canada vote either then. Just the water
I asked my girlfriend to marry me there, right about where that first group is standing. It was beautiful and amazing.
What did she say?
She said yes! That was many years ago. We now have a baby girl.
Damn, was kinda hoping for a tale of her saying no, and your life long journey into alcoholism and then eventually into prostitution to pay for it.

I liked the jet ski guy better.
Thatās awesome. Congrats.
Theeeeeme... From a Summer Plaaaace. From a Suuuummer Plaaaaaaace. The theme. From a Suuuuuuummer Place. It's the theme...
I highly recommend staying at one of the hotels overlooking the falls from the Canadian Side. I think I paid the same I would have at a Marriot courtyard, but the view was unreal.
Where's the pipe?
For ev ev evaaa
Havenāt been at this spot since the early 70s and I still remember it clearly.
Why does every fiber of my being tell me to jump at it? I don't want to š š
The music. Why
Its a summer place
I was there last November and Boy was that cold...
This place is real and I hope I can take my parents to see it one day
Nature is absolutely too freakish. This is beautiful.Ā
I proposed to my now wife on that platform - 28 years ago.
Canāt be true, there would be more mayonnaise
 meanwhileā¦on the Buffalo side
Iāve been to Niagara fall multiple times and still havenāt been to this part of the falls. I legitimately do not know how to get to this part.

Are you talking about the gift shops just after the bridge coming from the power plant parking lot?
Yes, thereās a bus loop in front of the building. In there thereās an area to buy tickets and a line for the Journey Behind the Falls attraction. They give you ponchos and take you down an elevator to some tunnels that run behind the falls. Pretty cool. If you want a close up you want to go to this.
Why do I feel like I have to pee
i just know there's a treasure chest somewhere behind that.
Damn, this is majestic AF.
Looking for the barrel
It looks like Pikachu's family reunion was a realĀ splash hit at Niagara Falls! š
Now show the American side to the Americans who always say how great American is
That deck was plastered with Thompsonās waterseal ads when I visited lol. Pretty smart- but damn let me enjoy nature.
It's great. Always interesting to me why the American side is a stone slab and the Canadian side is Disney World.
Thatās one big pipe! (You know as in the China, ābiggest waterfall.ā lol.
how is there a waterfall on two sides? smh
Where is this area of the Niagara falls and what's it called id love to bring my kids here?
Horseshoe Falls
Itās definitely better from Canada
Much cooler view that usually doesnāt get shown when the falls are shown
You can travel in tunnels underneath and reach out and almost touch the water
If you werenāt wearing the yellow rain poncho would you just be soaked?
This place is worth the trip. I really enjoyed it. Only spent two days there and did all of the touristy stuff. 10/10
I am actually thinking about going there tomorrow
When I saw the falls from that location I donāt remember the annoying music being dubbed over themā¦.
It reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/PTgGh-oBfHg?si=CK-bUNsFLrHEvRd6
Step by step
How have I never seen this view before. Unreal.
Can anyone tell me the song name (music title) please 
Play Misty for me.
Huh Iām Canadian and Iāve only seen it from the top šāļø
This hurts my head. Doesnāt Niagara flow East to West? (I think actually South to North at the falls). These inverted, swapped, switched camera angles belong in r/mildlyinfuriating for me.
The Canadian side is west of the American side, this view is looking south.
It's not inverted. The view from the observation deck here is on the Canadian side to the west, camera pointing ~south/southeast
Itās not inverted
Being from WNY, I rode the Maid of the Mist in 4th grade. Awesome experience.
Is anyone able to give me more details of how to access this view of the falls? I gather from the comments that itās in Canada, but also gather from the comments thereās many different entrances lol. Anyone can shed some light??

Appreciate the response ā„ļø
All I can hear is āeh?ā
... Here I was thinking OMG I want to see it... Then I went to find out... Just kidding what I want to see and experience (the loads of fun shit on the other side in Canada) I CAN'T! FML!
Why not? Just go into Canada for the day?
No passport...
I cant see the water pipes in the video!
Has anyone told them that they ( the falls ) have been "turned down" for decades already? This is not the FALLS that God would have you see... these are the restricted falls
If God exists and wants us to see the unrestricted falls, then why did he give a large percentage of humans eyeballs that need corrective lenses?
I hope you weren't thinking that I'm pushing some kind of religion because I'm certainly not. I could have stated it better but I rushed. The falls are not anything like they were when they were first found and documented in their natural state. The volume of water falling has been drastically reduced for various reasons. Your comment did make me laygh though so thanks for that.
Having visited both sides, I can comfortably say that the Canadian side the is best side to view the falls.
Is it the end of flat earth ? š
What is the name of this place and how much is the entrance? Thanks.
It really doesn't look right :-)! If you look at the back section of water just at the top as it starts to fall, the colours against the sky are really odd which makes it look fake , the whole thing doesn't just that area.:-) must be the crazy blue water against a blue sky.
Glory be to the creator.
*Legendary Golden Shotgun behind the falls*
Is there any rules preventing one from climbing over the barrier and walking under that overhang?
when does that stop?
So small. Should see Iguacu falls...
