Prospect Point Observation Tower is a 282-foot-high structure located within Niagara Falls State Park on the American side. The tower extends over the Niagara Gorge, offering unobstructed, close-up views of the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls from its open-air observation deck. Visitors can feel the mist and hear the roar of the water as they look down at the cascades. The tower also provides access to the Cave of the Winds tour via an elevator. It is a key vantage point for experiencing the power of the falls up close without leaving the park.

- Stand on the open-air deck directly overlooking the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.
- Feel the mist and hear the thunder of the water from the tower's vantage point.
- Use the tower's elevator to access the Cave of the Winds tour at the base of the falls.
