NYC to Niagara Falls is about 410 miles(660),depending on the route you take travel will be between 7 - 8 hours without stops.Not sure what type visas you will need to re enter

No problems crossing the border either way. On the Canadian side they might want you to fill in a Customs declaration but more often and not will just check your passport. If you are coming back to the US by the same route you'll probably get a fuller immigration check but still no problems.

including stops along the way for gas and food, likely traffic north of buffalo, and the possibility of traffic delays at the border, we figure 9 hours minimum.

I went by bus. No problems getting into Canada, but coming back there was some problem about a missing piece of paper I had received when I first entered US (at Newark). I'm sure one of the officials there took it from me. Anyway, I had to pay $22 for another one.
