What is the gender of Niagara river?

Question

Like in India almost all the rivers are "Female" except Bramhaputra .

A quote from http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa042098.htm regarding gender of rivers..." if you're trying to remember the gender of a river, it's dumb to guess das because all rivers are either masculine or feminine—as in der Rhein or die Donau (the Danube). If you know the rule, you have a fifty-fifty chance of being right instead of one in three. Another good hint: most rivers outside of Europe are masculine (except for some ending in -a or -e)—der Mississippi, der Nil, der Amazonas. "

Answer 2

Okay. Now I understand your question. In English, there are no genders. In French, there are masculine and feminine genders. La flueve, the river, is feminine. But only if you are speaking French, to a French-speaking Canadian. If you're speaking English to an English-speaking Canadian, it's just 'the river' with no gender attached.
