It has been stated that Niagara Falls froze over in the winter of 1911 but this is not entirely true as neither the river nor the falls freeze solid as water continues to flow beneath the ice at all times.

There have been six reported occasions (1883, 1896, 1904, 1909, 1936 and 1947) when the water flow over the American Falls has been blocked but only once (1848) when the much large Horseshoe Falls was blocked.
