The Great Niagara Whirlpool
Why has this natural wonder been so
overshadowed by the falls?

This little known marvel of nature would
surely make the charts of world-class natural
attractions if not for the ageless fame and possibly "over-rated" splender of
it's upstream
neighbor, Niagara Falls.
The Niagara Whirlpool is a stand-alone
wonder in it's own right,
every year tourists from all over the globe are drawn to it's powerful downward destiny.
"Where does the water go" is the question of the day, as kids and grown-ups
alike enjoy
a lean over the railing to "just to see". Those words have sent
chills down the backs
of the natives for decades. It is said that even a seasoned
"whirpooler" gets a little
weak-kneed recalling some of the horror stories involving boats and
"too-curious"
tourists falling into the watery abyss. Just a couple of miles north of the falls
and
you're there, see it this summer. "You'll like it!"
