Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls, located entirely on the American side next to the larger American Falls. Its name comes from its appearance, resembling a bride's veil as it plunges over a jagged rock face. Visitors can get remarkably close to the falls via the Cave of the Winds tour, which takes you on wooden walkways to the Hurricane Deck, where the mist and spray create a powerful, immersive experience. The falls are best viewed from the Prospect Point observation area or the walkway leading to the base.
