Niagara Falls - Ontario - Canada

I believe Rinkdaddy is from the Niagara Falls area...perhaps PM him with some ideas in case he doesn't see this?
Just a thought....

Niagara in winter - Google Search

Googled this up, it will take all of 90 minutes or longer to get from downtown Toronto Niagara Falls in February (especially if the weather is bad). Typically this is when we will see our coldest temps (has a tendency to slow the tourist influx down) and there is always the potential of ice storms.

Most of the trees along the parkway will have some ice on them as the falls produce a constant mist (as long as the temperature is below freezing). The "Gorge" would also present some interesting opportunities but the walk is long and can be very treacherous in the winter ( we fish for Steelhead all winter long down in the gorge and wear steel spiked boots to help with the footing).

The Toronto waterfront and some of the local parks with streams and rivers might afford a very similar opportunity without the drive (no water falls though).

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much!

This treacherous "Gorge" that you speak of...excuse my ignorance but is this walking down one of the 'sides' of the waterfall to the base of the waterfall?

and do you see other photographers doing this.?
Basically I'd like to weigh the great shots versus likelihood of death ratio.

Thx!
