5 Reasons to Walk the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls

  1. It offers views of both Horseshoe Falls and American Falls from above the Niagara Gorge. Most visitors never see the falls from this angle.

  2. The 10-minute walk gives you an unobstructed view with the spray in your face. You get closer to the action than from most other viewpoints.

  3. It connects New York to Ontario, so you can see the falls from two countries. No passport is needed for the walk itself.

  4. The bridge spans the Niagara River just downstream from the falls. This location provides a unique perspective you cannot get from the ground.

  5. It is a quick and easy walk that requires no tickets or reservations. You can do it anytime the bridge is open to pedestrians.
