Water flowing around ice at the American Falls due to cold temperatures in Niagara Falls. The falls and Niagara River have never completely frozen in their own right. The only time Niagara Falls has technically frozen solid was on March 29, 1848, when Lake Erie froze and created an ice dam that prevented water from reaching the falls.
