I agree with Philip - at the border means very near one side or the other of a border, but these falls are ON the border - the river is the border.

We almost made it to the border, but we stopped at the border when we saw her angry father waiting for us on the border.

There is possibly a little disagreement, but "Niagara Falls" more often takes a singular verb. Niagara Falls is on the border.
