TwitterLuna Island is a small island nestled in between the Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls. It provides the closest and the most dramatic setting from which visitors can safely view the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls.
About 285 000 litres of water flows over the American and Bridal Veil Falls per second. Can you imagine that?! The water plummets at 32 feet per second (9.8 metres per second) over the falls, hitting the base of the falls with 280 tons (280 000 kg) of force at the American and Bridal Veil falls.
Bridal Veil Falls
The Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the 3 waterfalls that makes up Niagara Falls. It used to be named Luna Falls. Because Niagara Falls is a popular destination for honeymooners, it was renamed because of its resemblence to a bride’s veil. It measures 17 metres wide with a height of 54 metres.The rapids just before the Bridal Veil Falls.
Rainbows are a daily occurrence at Niagara Falls.
