Bridal Veil Falls – Niagara Falls

If you have problems riding a horse, I call that a Bridle Fail.
I’ve obviously seen all parts of Niagara Falls many times on both sides, and I bring people here all the time when they visit me. I’ve seen every little part of them that there is to see. I could probably wander around here with my eyes closed by now. But that would be a bad idea. These are not the #1 attraction but I make sure that none of my guests ever leave without seeing these.
Do you need to wear a wedding gown to visit the Bridal Veil Falls? I’m not sure. The BVF are the smallest of the three Niagara Falls, but they’re definitely the cutest and tiniest (like my friend in TX that helped me with ideas for this review). You can reach them by walking to Luna Island from Goat Island on the American Side, which happens to be my favorite side. The best way to view the falls is from the islands in between. The Luna Island is tiny, but it’s definitely worth a visit to see the BVF up close.

There are moments on Unilocal,where a review makes or breaks a visit for me. You Unilocalers have guided me on this cross country trip so magnificantly! But, imagine my surprise, to find one review not only describe this site, but exceed in it’s description thunderously, it was like being close to God.
How can a waterfall be a spiritual experience, even sensing the Sovereign God? I was jaded, even skeptical of this dear review.
With plastic bag for my belongings, my spouse and I dove in the mulit-​storied elevator and shuffled along the dripping cave like tunnel with the masses towards the sunlight. Upon exit, you hear the roar. And you don your requisite cape and river shoes.
And you descend the paved path.
And then as you make your descent, suddenly you see what is making all this glorious noise. It’s the falls so up close.
And you then realize under the falls, is an elaborate series of wooden decking. And that my friend, is the journey you will take. To stand upon the decking and hold on for dear life as the falls descend upon you. Wind turbine speed blasts and cross winds blast. Yet a funny smile appears on your face. Supernatural power, grace, beauty and everyone is drenched. And then the tears. The Unilocal review was right. It was just like being next to God.
Don’t miss this once in a life time experience to stand under the bridal veil. The theological implications are amazing. See the power and the unrelenting beauty. But hold on for your life. This venue is for the courageous. Stand and be soaked.
No cheesy tourist blurb here. Real. On Point. Breathtaking. I couldn’t leave.

breathtaking!
go and see. love it :)
so powerful

Spectacular.
If you do the Caves of the Wind attraction, get ready to get soaked!

Who am I to argue with a «Wonder of the World»?

The Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. It is located on the U.S. side (in New York State); Luna Island separates it from the American Falls and Goat Island separates it from the Horseshoe Falls. It has a crest 56 feet wide.
You can park on Goat Island and it is a fairly short walk to the pedestrian bridge that spans the water between Goat Island and Luna Island right near the brink of the Bridal Veil Falls. It offers a spectacular close up view. This is my favorite spot on the American side. I grew up in Buffalo and have been here many many times — it never gets old. Do not miss a visit to Goat Island if you go to see the Falls.
Down below, the Cave of the Winds attraction allows visitors to walk up to the base of Bridal Veil Falls.
Near the parking area there is also a Tesla monument. Nikola Tesla designed the first hydro-​electric power plant in Niagara Falls to power the Greater Buffalo area. This was the final victory of Tesla’s Alternating Current over Edison’s Direct Current.
