&#8220;Maid of the Mist&#8221; boat to the foot of Horseshoe Falls.\u00a0 There are several &#8220;Maids&#8221; with a pair operating out of each side of the river below the falls, i.e. the American and Canadian sides.\u00a0 The boats leave the dock every 15 minutes throughout the day in season.\u00a0 They give each passenger a &#8220;souvenir&#8221; poncho to wear for protection.\u00a0 They don&#8217;t tell you that you are going to need it and that you probably need some waterproof boots too.\u00a0 Here is a slide show of our visit to Niagara Falls.\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview
