Niagara Falls State Park's air quality reflects the western New York border position adjacent to the Niagara River gorge, with vehicle traffic on the surrounding Robert Moses Parkway and the Niagara Falls tourism complex contributing local sources. Lake Ontario and Lake Erie's consistent lake winds provide reliable maritime ventilation, while the extraordinary waterfall mist creates distinctive local humidity and the park generally maintains moderate western New York readings throughout most of the year.
