You do not need a passport to drive across the border from the US into Canada. You need a government issued photo ID, such as a driver's licence, and proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate.

You can visit the American falls without a passport, but the other side of the falls is in Canada.. you can enter Canada without a passport, but you can't get back to the US without a passport..

it's worth it in my opinion because the Canadian falls are a lot better..

If you stay on the American side, no you don't need one.
If you go on the Canadian side, yes, you will need one.

You DO NOT currently need a passport to travel BY LAND between the USA and Canada. You do, however, NEED a passport if you are crossing the border by air (ie. Flying from Cleveland to Toronto).

OK, I have the real answer to this question because I just came from Canada on Monday...you will need a passport starting January 29th. Trust me this is true, I saw this huge sign when I was going back into the US. Canadian side is better for a view of the falls, also, you will fall upon Clifton Hill and tons of cool places to go! This is all if you are driving or walking over - if you fly, yes, you will need one.

If you don't cross the border into Canada, you don't need any ID as you are still in the States. If you enter Canada, you don't need a passport. Your birth certificate and a photo ID should be enough. Gettiing back into the US may require a passport. I'd get a passport anyway since it's the best ID to have and eventually you will need it cross the border into and out of Canada.

You only need a passport if you are flying. If you are driving all you need is a drivers licence and a birth certificate.

US Citizens Visiting Canada by Air
Since September 30, 2007, American citizens flying to Canada have needed a passport.

US Citizens Visiting Canada by Land or Water
As of Dec 21, 2007, passport requirements have been once again delayed meaning that US citizens arriving in Canada by land or water do not need a passport until at least summer 2009.

Necessary ID to Enter Canada by Land or Water before the WHTI Dates:

Until the WHTI land and water dates go into effect, American citizens crossing the border into Canada by land or water need ID that proves two things: 1) Citizenship, and 2) Identity by way of a photo.
