Take the elevator 70 meters down
into the gorge, then walk through the 73 meter tunnel. The Boardwalk beside the
rapids is 305 meters (1,000 feet) and stairs lead to two observation
areas at the edge of the River.The water travels at different speeds along the
length of the Niagara River. South of the Falls where the river is wide and
slow, the maximum speed is about 40 km/h. Near the brink of the Falls, a speed
of 109 km/h has been recorded. As the water travels through the Whirlpool
Rapids at White Water Walk, it is traveling at about 48km/hr or 30mph, creating
the Whirlpool Rapids - "Class 6 white-water rapids". |
