Even when the lake (Erie) would freeze out a few miles, the falls kept going. I Must have been there 20 times in the winter. They used to have some beautiful colored lights they would shine out on the frozen ice flows and “icicles”, at night. I don’t know if they still do it or not.
Everybody should go there once. I’ve been around the world a few times, and there are few natural wonders like Niagara Falls (in my opinion). Looking up from the base of the falls from the Maid is an awesome sight. You’ll never forget it.

The flow of water is such that the Falls cannot be frozen solid; partially, as presently, yes. Solidly, no.

And it is the Niagara River, not the St. Lawrence.
And not with ice 100′ thick.

“The Niagara River handles 212,000 cubic feet of water per second. The average depth is approximately 16 feet with a flow rate of 4 to 8 miles per hour. The Niagara River does not freeze over. The Falls of Niagara and the river below the Falls does not freeze either. The volume of water going over the Falls, the depth and speed of the water below the Falls also precludes freezing. The water will not be stopped or frozen solid.” From niagarafrontier.com

But perhaps your navigation was off and you were in Oswego instead!

It was frozen solid with 100 feet of ice in the St. Lawrence River. My sons were very disappointed that they couldn’t walk behind the Falls or take the Maid of the Mist boat ride.
