Introduction

The Niagara Gorge Discovery Center inside Niagara Falls State Park is a geology and ecology interpretive center whose exhibits and interactives explain the gorge's 12,000-year erosion story. Picture windows overlook the rapids, and stair trails descend toward the gorge floor (Devil's Hole direction); it is the best starting point for understanding the falls' geology.
