- Wintergreen Flats from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin
- Description
- en-CA When the top falls had cut back to the northern end of the Glen- Cripps Eddy - it was overcome by the second or middle falls. Then a further lowering of the lake to modern levels, caused the third or lower falls to fall over the Medina Whirlpool Sandstone layer. Having a less resistant Queenston Shale to erode, it quickly eroded back along what is now the Foster's Flats level. It did not catch up with the other two falls, now combined, until almost at the Whirlpool.
