Terrapin Point, another place to get an excellent view of the falls, is located on the western end of Goat Island. Situated on the eastern side of Horseshoe Falls, this viewing area is about the closest visitors can get to the cascading water.
With a crest line of 2,500 feet, Horseshoe Falls is significantly wider than the American Falls, and carries about nine times as much water. The average drop from the brink of Horseshoe Falls to the water below is 167 feet.

Love the mist in front of the Canadian skyline.
