Probably a majority of visitors get the first good view of Niagara Falls from Prospect Point. This is a rocky projection, on the American side, at the very point where the water plunges into the abyss. A wall of solid masonry, about breast-high, has been built to keep sight-seers from falling in, and one may lean over it and enjoy a magnificent View of the American fall and the frowning rocks far below. This point is in Prospect Park, a beautiful grove, with fountains and running streams and rustic seats, in which to enjoy at ease the surrounding beauties. A very powerful electric light is displayed on summer evenings, and the fountains in the park, as well as the Falls themselves, are brilliantly lighted, and hundreds come from Buffalo or neighboring places nearly every pleasant evening on Electric Light Excursions.
