People seem to be always interested in these facts so here goes.
The Niagara River flows 58 kilometres( 36 miles) northerly from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The drop in elevation from one lake to the other is 98 metres (326 feet). The source of the river is Lakes Michigan, Superior, Huron, St.Clair and Erie, all of which drain a large part of the North American continent. After the water goes over the falls it flows about 23 kilometres (14 miles) into Lake Ontario. From there it flows to the St. Lawrence River and eventually to the Atlantic Ocean.
Also Niagara Falls is not one of the official Seven Wonders of the World. But to us folks that live here we know that's not so.
So there you have it. Now you can impress your friends with some Niagara Trivia!
