Robert Moses Parkway
The Robert Moses Parkway runs downstream through Whirlpool State Park and then along the Lower Rapids to Devil's Hole State Park. Ahead is a view of the massive Robert Moses hydroelectric station. Then comes the campus of the old Niagara University, with the Castellani Art Museum (art of the 18th-20th centuries). The road continues to the Robert Moses State Power Plant then on through the Niagara Escarpment, a fertile fruit growing area, to where the Niagra River flows into Lake Ontario north of Youngstown.

Schoellkopf Geological Museum
North-east of the Rainbow Bridge is the Schoellkopf Geological Museum, which traces 500 million years of geological history in the Niagara area. From the museum the Upper Gorge Nature Trail leads to Whirlpool Rapids State Park.

St Mary of the Cataract Church
The parish of St Mary of the Cataract began in 1836 and is the oldest Catholic Church in Niagara Falls. The sacristy was built in 1813 and the church in 1847. The tower's oldest bell was installed in 1873.

Whirlpool Rapids Bridge
Three mi below the American Falls the river changes course again, forming the Whirlpool in a great cauldron originally created by tectonic movements and turning north-east over the Lower Rapids towards Lake Ontario.
