Facts about Niagara Falls
Do the Falls Freeze over in the Winter?
The tremendous volume of water never stops flowing, However, the falling
water and mist create ice formations along the banks of the falls and river.
HOWEVER.... The flow of water was stopped completely over both falls
on March 29th 1848 due to an ice jam in the upper river for several hours. This
is the only known time to have occurred. The Falls did not actually freeze
over, but the flow was stopped to the point where people actually walked out
and recovered artifacts from the riverbed!
