Minnehaha Park

Minnehaha Park Overlooking the Mississippi River, Minnehaha Park is one of Minneapolis’ oldest and most popular parks, attracting over 850,000 thousand visitors annually.

It is located at the intersection of Hiawatha Avenue 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 an

d viewing the Falls. It's also become a popular site for weddings. Walking the lower trails in autumn reveals beautifully changing leaves. Renovations at the Wabun picnic area include a new wading pool, disc golf course, four new picnic shelters, a new restroom building, a volleyball court and a bike/pedestrian trail.
