The Niagara Falls is made up of three smaller falls called the Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls is said to be the best & most beautiful out of all the falls. This falls is located on the Canadian side. The name of the falls has been derived due to the shape the falls. The American Falls is a little less impressive than the Horseshoe as it has almost nine times less water in it and that is way it is not very striking to see. The third falls, the Bridal Veil Falls, is even thinner that the American Falls, but the mist that surrounds the falls gives a look of the veil of a newly wedded bride.
