Niagara Falls. View of the Horseshoe Falls.
The original Niagara Falls were near the sites of present-day Queenston, Ontario, and Lewiston, New York, but erosion of their crest has caused the waterfalls to retreat several miles southward. The Falls will eventually recede far enough to drain most of Lake Erie, the bottom of which is higher than the bottom of the Falls.
