Niagara
Erie-Ontario connecting river
Niagara refers to the famous waterfalls on the border between the United States and Canada, where the Niagara River plunges dramatically between Lakes Erie and Ontario.
The name evokes overwhelming force or volume—a torrent of anything: a Niagara of tears, a Niagara of words.
The falls are a major tourist destination and honeymoon cliché.
