Minnehaha Park

Overlooking the Mississippi River, Minnehaha Park is one of Minneapolis’ oldest and most popular parks, attracting over ½ million visitors annually. It is located at the intersection of Hiawatha Ave. and Minnehaha Parkway.

The 193-acre park features a 53-foot waterfall, limestone bluffs and river overlooks. The park contains oak, elm, silver maple, basswood, hackberry and cottonwood trees, as well as native and prairie woodland wild flowers.

Visitors take advantage of abundant activities in the summer, including concerts, picnics, walking and viewing the Falls. Walking the lower trails in autumn reveals beautifully changing leaves.
