Whirlpool Rapids

Whirlpool Rapids are a series of fast-moving, turbulent currents found in Niagara Falls, where the Niagara River narrows and drops over the falls. These rapids occur just downstream of the falls, creating powerful, swirling movements in the water due to the sudden change in depth and flow speed. They are known for their intense, rapid water motion, making navigation challenging. These rapids are a natural feature of the river's landscape and are popular for their dramatic appearance and sound, contributing to the area's unique geological and hydrological environment.
