Niagara River
Famous falls' source
The Niagara River is a short but powerful waterway connecting Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, forming part of the border between New York State and Ontario, Canada.
It drops dramatically over Niagara Falls about midway along its thirty-six-mile course.
The river's immense flow makes it a major source of hydroelectric power for both countries.
