Minnehaha Park

Minnehaha Falls at the park were amazing! I have not been to this park and always wanted to bring my kids. On this day no kids were present as it was rainy and gloomy.

The park was very pretty with nice sitting areas with new blooms of Daffodils.

The water was very high, which I am sure is common this time of year. The falls were roaring along with the river. What a tranquil spot to sit and listen to the water flowing.

 As you can see by the pictures there are many walking trails, above the falls and below. I only walked some of the trails on top as the weather was not very cooperative. I do plan on making an all day trip to the falls when or IF the weather ever gets nice. I believe that you could explore all day at this park.

You can even get a little seafood for lunch, I thought this little cafe was a wonderful addition to this park.

I did not get a chance to sample any food on this day, as our time schedule did not permit.

Hiawatha and Minnehaha statue is suppose to be on a little island on the river right before the falls, but as you can see it's a little underwater.

With so many trails above and below the falls, and lots of Historic buildings within walking distance I do believe that this will for sure be a must  to do for the summer. What a nice inexpensive way to spend the day in the city.
