Canadians are blessed with an abundance of natural wonders with enough lakes，mountains and rivers to explore for a lifetime.We've also got some of the most amazing waterfalls on Earth.
Horseshoe Falls—Niagara Falls，Ontario
Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada—and understandably so.Actually they are made up of three different falls，and the fittingly named Horseshoe Falls is the only one located on the Canadian side，which is the most powerful in North America.Multiple viewing options are available including tourist ships and sightseeing buses.
Nailicho(Virginia Falls)—Nahanni National Park Reserve，Northwest Territories
Coming in at twice the height of Niagara Falls，this massive waterfall is located on the South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories.The remote location means it receives only about 1，000 visitors per year who must make their way by either boat or floatplane.
Takakkaw Falls—Yoho National Park，British Columbia
Takakkaw translated from Cree loosely means“the magnificent(壮丽的)”，and it's a suitable word for the secondhighest waterfall in Canada.After a steep drive up a winding road，Takakkaw Falls is only a short distance from the parking lot along a wheelchair accessible path.
Bridal Veil Falls—Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park，British Columbia
Pretty and delicate，Bridal Veil Falls is located just east of Chilliwack，British Columbia，and really does look like its name，with water gently pouring over smooth rock.An easy 15minute walk to the waterfall takes you through rich leaves.Tables are available to have a meal outdoors，and there are lots of opportunities for viewing wildlife along the way.
