The White Water Walk Along the Lower Niagara River in Canada

John, Carol, Eric &

I went downriver

to the White Water

Walk.

We took an elevator down 230 feet and saved lots of time on stairs.

The tunnel took us to the

head of the White Water

Trail.

A shot from below the

Rainbow Bridge.

Eric took this shot...

We watch the Class 6 rapids,
rated extremely difficult,
roil away.






The opposite side of the river is the United States.

Fun fact:  Jumping into the water is a $10,000.00 fine.  It would be a fool's errand...

 ... as being bashed against rocks

 would do lots & lots of damage

 to a potential swimmer.

Signs are posted along the
quarter mile trail.







The water in this section of the Niagara River flows past at 30 miles per hour.

How Deep is the Water?

That depends on where you
stand along the Niagara
 River.

The depth in this section of the Lower Niagara River, between the Whirlpool and Lower Rapids is pretty shallow...  3/4 mile to 1.2 miles deep.  

There are viewing platforms

below the easy quarter mile

paved path.

As someone who is not a

fan of water, these frothing

waves are mesmerizing &

frightening.

Eric & Carol are way up
there.... on the trail.

I stand next to John

at the railing.

The frothy spray is

beautiful....

The White Water Walk is a beautiful...  I'm glad we decided to walk the trail about three miles north of the Canadian Falls.
