From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Niagara Falls State Park is located in the City
of Niagara Falls, New York in Niagara County. The park
contains the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls,
and part of the Canadian
Falls.
Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the United
States. In 1885, the Niagara appropriations bill was signed into
law, creating the Niagara Reservation. New York
State Assemblyman Thomas Vincent Welch figured
prominently in getting the bill signed, and served as the first
Superintendent of the Park from its inception until 1903, 18
years.
The Niagara Reservation was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark
in 1963.[2][3]
The park also overlooks the Niagara Gorge and allows access to
the Maid of
the Mist tour boats, Cave of the Winds, and
other attractions of Niagara Falls.
The park offers a museum, food concession, a movie theater, a
gift shop, fireworks, hiking and nature trails, picnic tables,
recreation programs, and fishing.
In 2007, Niagara Falls State Park was named as the 10th most
beautiful spot in America by The Today Show.[4]
