Minnehaha Falls

We stopped by for a quick visit to see the Minnehaha Falls. It’s one of my favorite places in Minneapolis. The 53 foot falls are a sight to behold and are truly amazing in the winter when it’s frozen.

It's hard to believe that there is such a beautiful waterfall and nature area so close to a bustling metropolitan area. Also, the in-park restaurant Sea Salt Eatery is a can't-miss! Try the Po-Boy!

We braved this hike at 90 degree weather and it was totally worth it! Recommend climbing to the top of the stairs if you're feeling up for it!

Such a fantastic place to visit. Loved the soothing sound of the cascading waterfall and exploring the park on the family sized GoCarts. A ton of Fun!!

Discovered this amazing place on my way to downtown Minneapolis.Can't think of any better place for hiking ! Just take any walking trails and bring your swimwear with you so you can swim in the river !

It's hard to believe that there is such a beautiful waterfall and nature area located just a stones-throw from a bustling metropolitan area! The in-park restaurant Sea Salt eatery is a can't-miss.

Beautiful waterfall . The park is clean ; great for picnics , walks, playground & bike rides . Cheap metered parking ($1/hr).

you can rent a surrey bike to tour the park and falls but remember that if you go down hill you have to get the thing back up!

The Falls are very close to RhinoTech, so you can have a meeting, get hands-on training at our Eagen Training Center and then head over for some beauty, nature, a wade and some great seafood !

Go down the steps and then walk along the trail to the Mississippi River . Or enjoy a picnic in this beautiful park .

Voted Best Bike Trail by City Pages in 2012! A stunning trip always, the path runs under a lush canopy of trees beneath the Mississippi bluffs, entering Fort Snelling state park . Its a genuine escape.

Awww I love Minnehaha! There's some great hiking around the falls and you can also rent bikes for some of the paths around it!

Great trails , playground , picnic areas ... Just be respectful of the residential areas adjacent to the park .

To avoid the pay lots, park on the road next to the DQ. Free and unzoned and a short walk to the falls and Sea Salt .

Great park not far off from the twin cities . In the winter the falls freeze and it's a beautiful site!

So beautiful! Absolutely love it here! Pet friendly and everywhere is handicap accessible .

One of the Gems of the Twin Cities - not necessarily the best waterfall I've ever seen but its like walking into a different dimesion city - nature - city . Coolness

Don't leave without eating an order of peel and eat shrimp from Sea Salt . It pairs nicely with a Surly and a Sebastian Joe's ice cream .

Worth a walk around. Gorgeous greenery to appreciate.

There is a sign telling you not to go behind the falls ... The very worn path past the sign tells you the ineffectiveness of said sign.

Beautiful walking trails and waterfalls . Makes for a relaxing walk. Parking is cheap .

Great place to spend the day, $0.75/hr parking in lot and free on streets. Take the path past the falls and all the way to Ft. Snelling park .

Probably my favorite spot in the Twin Cities . Proposed to my wife here.

It's not really much of a hike which is why it's so startling when the falls appear sooner than you think. Very cool.

Very beautiful area! Lots of paved trails to walk around.

Voted Best Place to Break Up by City Pages in 2010. Breaking up is never easy. Why not break the news surrounded by nature?

Be sure to walk all the way to the end of the trail - much beauty awaits!

Lots of fun in the winter time, just be careful not to slip.

I don't recommend swimming in this area. Great park otherwise!

Hiking is hard! Wear good shoes and bring a camera . It's beautiful.

Hiking trails , large park , beautiful waterfalls

If you run the falls in a boat, you only get one chance to do it right.

Trails very great waterfall . Good for picnics

Best place to do some cardio . Climb the steps and you'll be sweating out a good workout!

Don't forget to visit Se Salt when we are here. The lines might be long but it's worth it! Read more

Come in the winter for an icy adventure behind the falls .

Beautiful falls . Be sure to eat at sea salt !

This is a go-to place when I'm showing Minneapolis to out-of-towners.

One of the prettiest spots in the Twin Cities !

Walk all the way around for different views .

This urban park offers a woodsy hike and 53-foot falls just minutes from downtown.

Visit the falls during winter ❄️

Amazing place to Rollerblade . A bit of a journey but well worth it

A must visit every summer.

Park on the street near DQ and little walk from there

Natural stunner in the heart of the city

Nice place to stroll around during the weekend.

Be careful with the stairs!

Make sure to go down stream and take a dip in the wading basin. It's gorgeous!
