The Wild Water Mystery at Niagara Falls by Carole Marsh

"Real Kids  Real Places-America's National Mystery Book Series"
Christina and Grant stay at a Bed and Breakfast near Niagara Falls with their grandparents, Mimi and Papa.
Together they experience the many amazing sights and attractions at Niagara Falls while solving a mystery involving gold and barrels.
Many titles in the series.
In the back there is a glossary plus a separate one with words found on the SAT.
Additional facts about the Falls plus comprehension questions are also provided.
The book seemed to focus on the sights, not the mystery as much.  I thought the mystery was not well developed nor the characters.  On the other hand, one learns a lot about the area and kids are probably not bothered about the lack of development.
