Here at Niagara there's far more to enjoy than just gambling at a casino!
Queenston Heights Park is very close to the US - Canada Border crossing, at the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge;
Very Close to the Border, the Lewiston Bridge is nearby.

Queenston Heights Park, Queenston, Ontario
Taken at the entrance to the park.
And below is a view of the Niagara River looking towards Niagara on the Lake and Lake Ontario. All the white bits in the water are boaters and water skiers and people enjoying the water on a hot day! This is viewed from the top of the Niagara Escarpment near the beginning of the Bruce Trail. Farm land can be seen in the distance to the left of the photograph, the area is well known for it's produce, fresh fruit, grapes and fine wine in particular!
The Niagara River heading to Lake Ontario


These boat rides weren't available when I was a kid; the boats ride into the rapids and around a huge permanent Whirlpool that exists in the Niagara Gorge.

Here, some people are enjoying a quieter mode of water transport.

I'd share more shots but it'll make the file take forever to load for some readers so instead I've built a set of photos that will run in a little slide show file at Flickr. Click This Link if you want to explore further.  When the new page opens you will see a series of thumbnails, you can click on the words "View as A Slideshow" to watch the photos displayed with a black background. I hope the slide show works well and hope you all enjoy the view!
