Many of
the County Links on the left will keep you specifically in Niagara County, home of Niagara Falls here in the Niagara Frontier of New York. New links and listings are added so be sure to check back often.
The Niagara area is a treasure chest of history for you to explore. The Niagara Gorge is an eco-tourism bonanza accessed on several levels. With a visit to the Schoellkopf Geological Museum, delve into how and when the Falls were formed. Join the guided moonlight walks to Luna Island at the Falls, or flora/rock explorations into the gorge. If children are part of your group, they can participate in the many programs designed as hands on history of Niagara.
Just down the river is the New York Power Vista Visitor Center, with self-guided tours at the fifth largest power project in the world. This project uses the thundering power of Niagara Falls to generate electric power throughout the states. Located at river level is a million-dollar fishing pier, where anglers catch salmon and trout as the basis for many great fishing stories.
The three Falls of Niagara are situated in the oldest State Park in the nation.
