06 Canada Fall and “Maid of the Mist”
Canada Fall and “Maid of the Mist”
The Canada Fall extends from the Canada shore to Goat Island, the width being estimated in round numbers at 2.500 feet. The perpendicular height of this Fall is 158 feet, or three feet less than the American Fall, a discrepancy that is caused by the slope of the land. It has been roughly estimated that 1.350.000 cubic feet of water pass over these tails every minute. Near the centre of the Fall there is presented a rare picture of Nature's beauty, in the share of a gigantic plume of spray that dashes into the air for a hundred feet. It is caused by a portion of the Fall striking an immense mass of rock which in some former age was broken from the centre of Ihe precipice.
