Niagara Falls - The American Side - Waterfall and Camping Guide

Niagara Falls is the oldest State Park in the country, being established in 1885. Like Watkins Glen, I could have stayed all day at the falls just taking in the beauty and the majesty of the water and the rock formations. Niagara Falls State Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, the father of landscape architecture, who also designed the Biltmore Estate link to YouTube in Asheville, NC, and Central Park, NY. This park is about 400 acres of rapids, waterfalls, islands, 15 miles of hiking trails, and the Niagara Gorge.
