The most famous part of Niagara Falls is the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls. This is the larger, semi-circular section (it has a horseshoe shape).
Niagara Falls has a vertical drop of about 167 feet (51 meters) at the Horseshoe Falls, which is the largest of the three waterfalls making up Niagara. The steepness can be described as quite significant, with a nearly vertical drop, creating a powerful flow of water. The incline leading up to the falls is also steep, contributing to the dramatic views and the impressive cascade of water.
