There are a few trailheads that lead down to the river. Right now the 2 northern trails/staircases are closed for renovation. If you head to the trail near the whirlpool bridge, you can make it down - nice hike but be careful off the trail - LOTS of poison ivy.

If you come to this area, this is a MUST. There are a lot of great areas to walk on the US side around the park. Niagara Falls itself doesn't have much but you can spend a 1/2 day walking around this park. Make sure you see...Three Sisters Island, Bridal Veil Falls, Goat Island, Schoellkopf Power station, Old Falls Street and take the trolley all around too.
