#3 It was drained in 1969
1969 was a pretty eventful year. And if you went to the Woodstock Music Festival, you might have been one of the lucky people who got to see Niagara Falls drained!Despite the fact that it would have taken you about 5 hours to get there, we wonder how many people who decided to extend their trip after the festival to see the waterfall were disappointed.
It was not completely drained, as just the American side shut down the flow for about eight months, but it was a pretty jarring sight! If you are asking why this happened, the answer is a bit superficial, if we are to be honest. They simply wanted to clear the rocks on the American side of the falls so that when the flow was restored, it would look more appealing!
