Summer fun season is in full effect and there are many great things you can find to do all around Western New York and Southern Ontario. Whether you're looking for some excitement or something more chill, plenty of things will keep you occupied every weekend during the summer.

I like to do just about everything, whether it's taking a hike, hopping on a bike, doing some sightseeing, or finding some other fun adventure. There are a few things on my summer 2024 bucket list, and as a huge fan of Niagara Falls, here is one thing that you want to try and see that will give you a view of Niagara Falls and the Niagara River that very few people have seen.

You Have To Check Out The Tunnel In Niagara Falls, Ontario

If you travel 180 feet down below the Niagara Parks Power Station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, you'll find a more than 2,000-foot-long tunnel that's nestled in the Niagara River Gorge that will truly blow your mind.

The Tunnel At The Niagara Parks Power Station used to be part of the system that Ontario used to generate hydropower for the Golden Horseshoe region of Southern Ontario. This particular tunnel was where water was used to exit the plant after it turned large hydroelectric turbines to generate power.

After you take an elevator down and walk out of the tunnel, you will find yourself facing the mighty Niagara Falls, and the viewing platform will give you a view that has only been seen by a limited number of people.

This is just one of a few great things to do in Niagara Falls. In fact, I got a chance to check out the tunnel after it first opened, and it is a truly amazing experience that you need to check out the next time you hop over the border.

You can find out more information about The Tunnel here on the Niagara Parks website.
