The Canadian or Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River are 2592 feet wide and 161 feet high. The American Falls on the US side are 1001 feet wide and 167 feet high. The two waterfalls are separated by Goat Island which lies in New York State (i.e. in the USA). The Canadian Falls carry about nine times as much water as the American Falls. Part of the American Falls near Goat Island is known as Bridal Veil Falls.
Further to Cetti's answer, there is a viewing point on the Canadian side which is only a few feet from the edge of the drop, so you can look straight down into the falls - very scary! You can also go on the Maid-of-the-Mist boat which sails close to the foot of the falls - you get absolutely soaked!
