Went on a Saturday morning about 10am and the place was already packed. Had to park a little further down the street but it was worth the walk to the falls. Quite a majestic little fall. The unique part of the falls is how close you are to it. It still boggles the mind how easy someone could jump in the fast moving stream and end up being swept over the falls. yolo i guess.
Such a beautiful place! My first time here and it was a lovely park and walk. Much of the trail is shaded. Easy hike, not strenuous. We had a great time!
It was a great time at the waterfall, very good weather and wonderful scenery. It’s not the prettiest waterfall, but wow. Was the water flowing! There was a rental bike shop that was fun, just be careful because kids will easily fall through the bicycle. We had a good time, and I would recommend it to anyone!
Great for a weekend mellow hike and views. You can carry you own picnic food, go fishing, dip your toes in the river or buy sea food at the restaurant called Sea Salt which is near the falls. A few artists may perform in the park and there is great energy bustling through the people that gather there.
Definitely a great place that you have to visit if you’re in the Minneapolis area. We went on Tuesday and it wasn’t crowded at all, the parking was easy and the views are awesome!
I love this place! It’s so cool that a waterfall is in the middle of the city. It’s a great date place too! Go to the falls, walk around and then listen to some music while eating at Sea Salt.
With all the recent rain, the falls were pounding! Unexpected surprise to find in a city park and thoroughly enjoyed. Go down the stairs for a better view.
One of the nicest and beautiful place near Minnesota city. Ample parking 🅿️ though not free on weekdays. There is walking 🚶 trail which is easy with stairs , return time 30/45 mins. Kid enjoyed the place. Well maintained and organized park.
