South Minneapolis 53-foot waterfall, picnic park

Minnehaha Falls Park

A 53-foot urban waterfall in a 193-acre regional park along the Mississippi gorge. Free, walkable, with the Sea Salt Eatery pavilion for lobster rolls in summer. The waterfall freezes in spectacular ice formations in February if you want to see something genuinely strange.

Saves land in your shortlist; been-heres fill your Passport. Both shape the Best of MPLS. Anonymous, never sold.
