Niagara News: June 2013

During the Fall of 2012 the Niagara Falls Canada Tourism group hired Toronto based Skymotion to take some of the most impressive video we've ever seen of Niagara Falls. Using a remote controlled helicopter equipped with a video camera they captured from angles which have never been seen before. You can see some of the stock footage here.


History was made on April 27th 2013 when Chris Bohrenkamp and Beau Value of Idaho drove two jetboats from Youngstown New York to the base of Niagara Falls. The class six rapids had always been considered impossible to be ran against all the way to the falls. Youngstown NY native Mike Fox was testing the boats to determine if it is possible to offer trips to the public all the way to the Falls. If Mr. Fox's business becomes a reality this would be one of the most exciting adventures available anywhere on earth. Here is a link to some great video.

Congratulations to the winners of our 2012 photo contest. We had hundreds of great entries from visitors from all over the world. A big thank you to all that participated !
