I know it is frozen over during the Winter but seem to have heard that there are no longer falls the rest of the year.

They are telling you a joke.The falls are running night and day.The ice flows over the falls and when it is cold long enough it forms an ice bridge at the bottom of the river. Just a little joke of my own. the coins don,t fall out of the slot machines anymore all is converted into paper prints to collect your money. No more loud money drops that you could hear. Maybe your Buddy's meant that noise is missing in the falls.

Yes the water still flows spring, summer, winter and fall. It does not completely freeze over during the winter. The water is constantly moving and providing power for millions of consumers.

No that is far from the truth. It still throws an incredible amount of water over both sets of falls. The edge of the cliffs that the water goes down erodes back a little each year but the water is still coming.

yes the water continues to fall....however they can control the amount of water that flows over the falls. It has something to do with the hydro plant that runs off it and the dams they control. However you won't notice the difference high volume or low.

Yes it still falls. Where would it go? There would be terrible flooding above the falls. The water still flows underneath the ice.
