Daytrip to Canada -- quarantine plan ????

I am a fully vaccinated US citizen which will be camping near Niagara Falls USA. I would like to do a day trip to the Canadian side of the falls. I have looked at the arriveCAN website and I am confused about the requirement for a quarantine location. Since I will only be in Canada for a day my plan would be to return to the US -- the website requires a Canadian address to quarantine. It does not allow for the entry of the US address.

I thought I would be exempt from the quarantine requirement. Do I just input a hotel on the Canadian side of the border?

    I went through that this week. I just entered the address of the hotel I had booked. The App took that. You could do the same.
    The reason they do that apparently is that they might randomly pick some travelers and make them do a post-entry test. If it were to be positive they lock you in for 14 days.
    In your case, like me, you'd be back in the US if they demanded a test.
    The US does not require any testing for returning US citizens.

    The Falls was lovely on the Canadian side on Tuesday!
