Not only that, but the Whirlpool Bridge is closed to all pedestrians, even those who are NEXUS holders.

Rainbow Bridge is your best bet. I have walked across several times (usually by being dropped off in Niagara Falls ON by either GO Transit or a casino bus, walking over, going through customs, then having family pick me up at the state park parking lot (or on the street during the summer season). During the season you can take the Niagara Tourism shuttle for free if your destination is along the river in Niagara County, NY (mine is so of course I would find it convenient - but it is not convenient for everyone).

I did the other direction too where I walked to a Go Transit stop (or took Uber - pre pandemic when I wan't as squeamish about ride hailing services).
