Where does the water in niagra falls come from?

Very interesting question. Technically it comes from rain, directly it comes (as someone already stated) from Lake Erie and the Niagara River, but the path actually starts at Lake Superior, and works it's way through Lakes Huron, St. Clair, and Erie before finally making it's way down the Niagara River and ultimately over the falls, then goes down the lower Niagara and empties into Lake Ontario.
By the way, as a point of interest, Lake Erie is the only lake that usually freezes over during the winter because it is the shallowest of the great lakes. There have been years that it hasn't but that's only because a warmer than normal winter occured that year.

lake Erie and Niagra river

God.

MARS???

All rain that falls in the 4 upper great Lakes ( Superior, Michigan, Huron and Erie ) or on land that drains into these 4 lakes ends up flowing up the Niagara river and over the falls and then into Lake ontario and eventually up the st. Lawrence river to the Atlantic ocean.
