Summary

Waterfall of the Niagara Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. It is located on the United States side in New York state. Luna Island separates it from the American Falls and Goat Island separates it from the Horseshoe Falls. Bridal Veil Falls faces to the northwest and has a crest 56 ft wide.

Bridal Veil is similar in appearance to American Falls, starting with a vertical fall of 78 ft followed by the water violently descending the talus boulders to the Maid of the Mist pool 103 ft below. The total vertical drop is 181 ft. The crest elevation of the Falls is 508 ft.

The Cave of the Winds attraction allows visitors to walk up to the base of Bridal Veil Falls. A pedestrian bridge crosses from Goat Island to Luna Island several yards (meters) upstream from the crest of the falls.

The waterfall has also been known in the past as Luna Falls and Iris Falls.
