It is powerful and a lot bigger than people expect.
I go there a few times a year.
Lots of games and fun stuff to do.
Haunted houses and rides and a casino and shows.
Like a mini Vegas.
sounds ace our biggest waterfall is high force, it would look like a ripple next to your falls.

The American side sees little.

The Canadian side sees everything.

We had a home, on a lake, in the The Laurentian Mountains and when the last of the ice left, (usually around the first or second week of May) there was a tradition to see who would be the first to jump into the lake. We even had a trophy for the winner. It was shaped like an icicle.
