As you walk toward the falls
from Kings Bridge park following the Niagara river you will notice
two large freestanding gates standing about 30 meters in the air along the parkway. These large gates are the water inlets for the Sir Adam Beck
generating station. |
These large gates open and close each
night to divert water from the Niagara river into the
Sir Adam Beck water channels for creating hydro electric power.
The water bypasses the Falls and flows to the generators.
A third canal is being built via an underground viaduct.
