Experts' Choice Award Whirlpool State Park
What the experts agree on
Whirlpool State Park offers a dramatic 300-foot descent into Niagara's gorge to view the powerful whirlpool up close, with trails perfect for picnicking and fishing while watching cable cars drift overhead.
Fodor's "Steps and trails lead down 300 feet into the gorge, where you may fish. It's a nice place for a picnic while watching the cable car from the Canadian side glide hundreds of feet above the whirlpool." Full review

"This park, 3 miles north of the falls, sits just above a sharp bend in the Niagara River – a bend that creates a giant whirlpool easily visible from your vantage point" Full review
