Lower Niagara

The Niagara River is a Great Lakes connecting channel and an international border between the United States (New York) and Canada (Ontario). The Niagara River flows northward from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario for a distance of 36 miles, conveying an average flow of about 200,000 cubic feet of water per second! This mighty river supplies Lake Ontario with about 80% of its water, more than all other sources combined. The outflow of the river into Lake Ontario is a powerful attraction to trout, salmon and other highly sought sportfish.
