The
Maid of the Mist is a boat tour of Niagara
Falls. (The actual boats used are each
named Maid of the Mist, followed by a
different Roman numeral in each case.)
The boat starts off at a calm part of
the Niagara River and takes its passengers
past the American and Bridal Veil Falls,
then into the dense mist of spray inside
the curve of the Horseshoe Falls. The
tour is available starting from either
the Canadian or US side of the river,
returning to the starting point in each
case. The first Maid of the Mist was launched
in 1846, but the focus on tourists did
not begin until 1854 and continues to
be a draw for tourists wanting to be close
to the Falls.
