- a (prose):
b (MoS):

- I made a bunch of corrections, and removed many cases of "parkway". Unfortunately the regional road shields are not available at the moment. However, once they are made they will automatically show up. I changed "a native path" to "an aboriginal trail" to clarify that it was something created by the indigenous peoples that settled along the river over the centuries. Thanks for the review! - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 02:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Aerial view
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2b/Niagara_Falls_Whirlpool_aerial_view.jpg/220px-Niagara_Falls_Whirlpool_aerial_view.jpg)
This aerial view of the Niagara Whirlpool includes a long stretch of the Parkway that is not represented in the article's four images. (One of the images, if i understand correctly, shows that the Parkway is "within metres of the river" above as well as below the falls.)
This image originally from Dutch wikipedia appears in some articles that are not listed on its file pages (Dutch and English) because I don't know how to edit Files. --P64 (talk) 20:22, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
