Maid of the Mist - Up Close to Niagara Falls

The Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls has launched its 2009 season and the ride is as exciting as ever.

The closest you can get to the Falls without going over them in a barrel, the Maid of the Mist is a 15-20 min boat ride that takes you right into the dense spray of both the American and the Canadian Falls, also known as the Horseshoe Falls.

Don't like getting wet? This may not be the ride for you; rain ponchos are provided for a reason!
