American Falls
The waterfall on the American side of the Niagara River is the second largest of the two falls and is referred to as the American Falls. Unlike Horseshoe Falls which spans both sides of the boarder, the American Falls is entirely located in the United States. The significance of the American Fall is its "W" shaped edge which is caused by decades of fallen rocks, resulting in the huge mound of rocks at its base.
