Niagara Falls is a group of three separate waterfalls – Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls is the largest of the three and is partially in the United States and partly in Canada. Many people refer to Horseshoe Falls as Canadian Falls. The smaller two falls are both in the United States. 

The height of Horseshoe Falls is 167 feet, and the height of American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls is 176 feet. About 20% of the world’s freshwater flows over Niagara Falls as the water lies in the Great Lakes.
