You may want to inquire with the employees at Niagara, I know that usually some National Parks it is not allowed like here in California I cannot fly it in Yosemite.

Niagara Falls is not on the no fly list. I used to live there and i plan on going back there next su ...

Not too far back someone posted a video here of a Phantom flight over Niagara Falls. He noted that he had to seek permission to fly there.

Haven't flown in NYC, but I've seen a few articles online that suggest it is possible but locations are limited.  Search "flying drone in NYC" on Google to get some details on it.  Much of Central Park is in a NFZ, but places like Battery Park are not.

Was it from the American side or the Canadian side?

Honestly don't remember. Just remember that a viewer/poster stated it was illegal to fly over the falls and the guy who made the video said he had been granted permission. The original video is most likely still on Youtube.

Well....

I decided NOT to bring my drone in this trip :

1) Weather might be bad
2) Custom hassle (maybe)
3) Blurry regulation on drone
4) Neighborhood might be over sensitive

In case I got question by Police,  i cant stand interogation especially by clueless authority..NOT WORTH IT.  Might spoil my trip ..
