  • Doing Niagara Falls If You're Stuck on the American Side
    Meiqianbao/ Shutterstock Doing Niagara Falls If You're Stuck on the American Side By Jason Cochran The legendary Niagara Falls, one of the greatest natural attractions in North America, straddles the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York State. In an ideal tourism situation, you'd be able to drive or stroll across the Rainbow International Bridge to enjoy the view from both banks of the Niagara River. But sometimes you just can't get over the border. Maybe you don't have enough time. Maybe your legal status won't allow it. Or maybe you happen to be living through a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic that has sealed national borders. It's all good! If you're restricted to the U.S. side, you won't find yourself over a barrel. There's plenty to do. In fact, some of the best activities in the Niagara Falls area are on the American side. Pictured above: Terrapin Point, at right, juts into the eastern side of the Falls from Niagara Falls State Park in New York State. Niagara Falls State Park Niagara Falls State Park If we're being honest, the Canadian side has richer options for quality lodging and tourist amenities, although the stuff on that riverbank tends toward cheesy honky-tonk. New York's territory beside the Falls, on the other hand, has been preserved from development since the 1880s. In fact, the area is now the oldest state park in the United States. The more-than-400-acre Niagara Falls State Park, which is separated from the core of town by a breakaway river, is speckled with whitewater-spanning bridges, river islands, curving walkways, and native animals.

In the words of a popular song, the Erie Canal connected “every inch of the way from Albany to Buffalo.” A ‘carrying place’ that had served six nations for centuries became an outpost for Europeans colonizing North America and then, a place where rebels stood their ground against an imperial army. Women gathered to proclaim to the world that they deserved the right to vote as much as any man. Our youngest president ever assumed office in a friend’s home after an assassination by an anarchist. Come share in an experience this history in a way that can only be found in New York, beginning in Niagara Falls. • Feel the surging power of one of the largest waterfalls in the world, shared by two nations. • Visit where a national tragedy at a world’s fair gave America one of its most influential presidents, who led the country into the Twentieth Century as a world power. • Follow a highway of water, dug by countless men with shovels and sore backs, which brought prosperity to a new nation. • Become inspired by the bravery of women in Victorian dresses who demanded nothing less than equality with men. • Come to a fort located where native tribes traded for centuries and where the Continental Army repulsed a siege during the American Revolution.

  • New York Côté Nature
    WINE, WATER AND WONDERS OF UPSTATE NEW YORK New York Côté Nature Si à Paris, on a fini par découvrir la plage sous les pavés, on peut tout autant s’évader des gratte- ciel de New York et partir en escapade à seulement quelques heures de route de Manhattan, en s’immergeant dans la bucolique région des Finger Lakes. Cette région est arrosée par les Chutes du Niagara, destination touristique emblématique, mais aussi le lac Ontario, les lacs des Finger Lakes, l’ancien territoire des Iroquois, le canal Erié et d’innombrables cascades. L’eau y est omniprésente, magnifiant ses grands espaces sauvages éclatant de couleurs lors de l’été indien. Les sols travaillés par les glaciers et le climat régional ont permis la culture de vignobles réputés qui font de l’état de New York, le troisième producteur de vin des Etats-Unis. Partout flotte le parfum de l’Amérique villageoise et provinciale, fière de son histoire et de son terroir, chérissant les merveilles spécifiques de la région qui sont autant d’attractions réputées comme l'International Museum of Photography & Film de Rochester, l’exceptionnel musée de verre de Corning, son architecture ancienne, sa collection de chais ou le prestigieux campus d’Ithaca. Facile à combiner avec un séjour new-yorkais, la région peut aussi s’insérer dans un itinéraire transfrontalier avec le Québec et l’Ontario, ou être une étape de quelques jours entre la côte Atlantique et les Grands Lacs. Elle offre en effet de multiples activités, quelle que soit la saison. LES FINGER LAKES SUR LE BOUT DES DOIGTS Très effilés et profonds, bordés de forêts, vignobles et villages, les Finger Lakes, témoins de l’ancienne glaciation, ont mis la main sur le paysage.
