It would be neat to actually see water going over the falls this trip, seeing how the last time I was there as a boy, back in the late 60's they had shut the water off for some reason.
There is an island along the way that might be worth seeing. Supposedly loaded with feral cats. I did not learn of it till I got back. It is somewhere on lack Erie north of Buffalo.
A ride up river from the falls is well worth it. Almost as impressive as the falls themselves and it gets you away from the crowds and you are literally feet away from the rushing water.
If you have the time to cross over to the Canadian side the Welland Canal is worth seeing. Or you can see it from the American side on the northern shore of Lake Erie.
