White Water Walk

White Water Walk - You may not want to walk or roll the two-mile distance from the falls down to the White Water Walk. Depends on how tired you are. There is limited parking beside the entrance to the attraction and much more across the road. The building up top is really only an elevator loading area because the exciting part is down in the gorge where you can get so close to the white-water rapids you feel you can touch it.
Ron and I take this trip every year as well and it's one of my favorite places for photos but then I'm a bit of a rock hound. A long boardwalk allows you to travel along the gorge and truly experience the feeling of being part of something so much older and bigger than we are. It took millions of years for Mother Nature to carve the Niagara Gorge and down here, the evidence of those years is right in front of your face as you look at the layers and layers of rock above you.
As the elevator takes you up to the surface, you'll be able to stop at the gift shop featuring all manner of rock and mineral samples and literature on the area's geology.
