Near Niagara Falls State Park
Niagara Falls 0.1 km
Three waterfalls at the head of the Niagara Gorge on the border with Canada: the great Horseshoe Falls, mostly on the Ontario side, and the smaller American and Bridal Veil Falls within New York. Boats carry visitors right into the spray at the foot of the falls.
American Falls 0.6 km
The second largest of the three falls at Niagara, and the only one lying entirely within the United States. Rather than dropping straight into the river, it crashes onto a slope of fallen boulders, and Prospect Point looks along its very edge.
Letchworth State Park 101 km
A state park that follows the Genesee River for about 27 kilometres through a deep gorge and over several large waterfalls, south of Rochester. Its sheer cliffs and falls have earned it the name Grand Canyon of the East.
Watkins Glen State Park 196 km
A narrow gorge at the southern end of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes, where a stone trail climbs past a long run of waterfalls and pools. It first opened to the public in 1863 and has been a public park since 1906.
Sri Venkateswara Temple 300 km
A temple to Lord Venkateswara in Penn Hills, outside Pittsburgh, built in the style of the great temple at Tirupati. It is the oldest Hindu temple in the United States built by Indian immigrants, and draws pilgrims from across the Northeast and Midwest.
Cedar Point 346 km
An amusement park on a Lake Erie peninsula, open since 1870 and known as America's Roller Coast. Its 18 roller coasters tie it for the most of any park in North America, many of them rising along the lake shore.
Fallingwater 354 km
A house by Frank Lloyd Wright built partly over a waterfall on the Bear Run stream, in the Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania. It was a weekend retreat for the Pittsburgh store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. and his wife Liliane, and has been open to visitors since 1963.
Hersheypark 369 km
A theme park founded in 1906 by Milton S. Hershey as a leisure park for the workers of his chocolate company. It sits in Hershey, the company town where even the streetlights are shaped like chocolate kisses, and today is packed with roller coasters.
