You might be able to fish it out using a section of coat hanger wire or one of those magnets with a flexible handle. Failing this, leave it in the block, as it falls to the bottom of the water jacket where it will pose minimal flow or cooling loss.
Please Note: Most freeze plugs are lead coated brass and are non-magnetic & the freeze plug can block waterflow in the cylinder jacket (water flow will move it around more-so when driving) so I would not suggest leaving it in the block.
no the falls don't freeze because they flow non-stop. so if they don't stop, the falls don't have time to freeze.

reach down and retrieve it
No, the water is moving too fast for it to freeze.
The tension in the string as the block falls is the force exerted by the string to support the weight of the block and keep it from accelerating too quickly.
To prevent the water turning into ice
to shut off engine if it falls out
yes the niagara falls froze solid on March 2 1848 for 2 days
Drill a hole in it, then put a flat head screwdriver in the hole and pry aganst block... you dont have to use a screwdriver just about anything will work. answer above answer works, not a real big deal if you mess up and plug falls inside but the old one is handy to take with you to get correct size of new one as there are many different sizes to install new one, , get a socket that will fit inside freeze plug, or a piece of pipe that is a good fit place plug over hole as flat and even as you can get it using a hammer, tap pipe or socket till plug goes into hole with outside edges flush with block or just a little past block fill engine with coolant and check for leaksCorrection from an observer with the same problem on a 1993 4.3: The freeze plug isn't sitting on the dash board! It is a complicated removal if it is the one on the right bank behind the motor mount. Can you be a little more specific? Like a description of how to get at the freeze plug?
No, you can't. The Niagara River does not freeze, nor do the Falls themselves or the river below them. See 'related links' for more details.
Yes and no. The waterfall itself does not freeze over. But with a prolonged freeze, an "ice bridge" may form in the river (below, I think).
During an extended winter cold snap a hardened crust of ice can accumulate over parts of the falls (the American Falls in particular) creating an amazing, naturally-formed ice sculpture that has been known to reach a thickness of 50 feet. Neither the river nor the falls ever freezes solid, however. The water continues to flow beneath the ice at all times, albeit reduced to a mere trickle on rare occasions when ice jams block the river above the falls.
