I've lived in Niagara County my entire life! There is so much to see and do, no only in Niagara, but in the surrounding Western New York and Ontario Province Canada.The weather is great as we get a full 4 seasons. Winter is my favorite because of all the local cross country skiing and winter festivals. How could you not think of NIAGARA FALLS! Surely, one of the most amazing natural wonders of the world and right here in my backyard. We have hiked the gorge several times, sail into Lake Ontario from the Niagara River, ridden the Maid of the Mist boat right into the churning water beneath the falls, climbed the wild and wet stairs beside the falls, and heard it's roar through the Cave of the Winds behind the falls. Don't miss exciting aircraft shows, festivals, hometown favorites throughout the county. From farms to Falls, Niagara County is all it can be.
Food choices are sparse, lots of crime near the falls, and TERRIBLE medical attention and mental health counseling
I was born and raised here. Definitely has it’s plus and minus but I survived. There is so much more that the city can and should be doing!
