DISCOVER Canada Your Way Horseshoe Falls
Horseshoe Falls thunders over
the Canada/US border. One of three
separate cascades that make up
Niagara Falls, it is the most powerful
waterfall in North America and the
country’s biggest natural attraction.
Visit between April and October when
the water flow is at its strongest, and
take a truly awesome boat trip below
the raging torrent (p204).

CANADA FOR
NATURAL

WONDERS

Canada’s enormous size means it spans many different types of terrains
and is home to some of the finest natural spectacles on the planet. From the
fall glory of its vast forests to its icy glacial lakes and majestic mountains,
there is plenty to take your breath away in every season.

The Great Lakes
With their mighty winds and
rolling waves, lakes Superior,
Michigan, Huron, Erie, and
Ontario often resemble inland
seas. Together, they contain
enough water to flood the
whole of Canada. The largest,
Lake Superior (p234), is the
biggest freshwater lake in
the world. Enjoy exhilarating
watersports such as kayaking,
or take a relaxing hike along
its unspoiled shores.
