This is a great place to take outdoor photos, especially under the Pergola. Family friendly and fun to hike around.

Free attraction that was absolutely beautiful and well worth the stop and hike. We saw the falls and continued on throughout the trail. Even in the pouring down rain, this was an enjoyable stop on the way back to the airport. Make sure to have your camera!

My favorite place in MN and in Minneapolis. Beautiful waterfall, maintained grounds, and one of my favorite hiking trails! DOG FRIENDLY! The falls are amazing, even in the winter. Only during rare time of drought is there little water. Spring is a great time to go! The hike to the river is very easy, and dogs love it! Lots of... More

I love the falls and the walk down to the Mississippi along the paths is worth it. To bad the park has opted for metered parking and a more expensive restaurant to fill the space of what was a great little concession stand. Makes this cheap/free date option a thing of the past.

This is a good spot to brush up on local history. The park is well maintained and clean. The outposts with historical information were helpful. Could do with some extra park seating.

This park and Falls has been a local favorite of mine since way back in my high school days when mom,dad and our cousins got together at times and would drive from Bloomington to have a nice picnic and get together here. And over the years after I got married in 1980, my wife, step-son spent many weekends here picnicing... More

A pleasant place to walk about and see the waterfall. I would have loved to have seen in frozen in winter! I felt it had the feeling of being a bit too man made, but none the less a pleasant sunny day walk

Supported friends and strangers for run. Rode my bicycle from St. Paul to the rice. Safe ride with lots of fresh air, clean roads, nice bike paths, not much litter. Nice to see the officials working together (Fire, Police, Ambulance, and Staff for the race).

I love this park. It has a very old fashioned feel. It has old bridges and paths that have been padded along for decades upon decades. I always stop to see the statue of Hiawatha and what's his name carrying her romantically by the creek. You can also walk from the fall down to the Mississippi River.

This is a great place to visit any time of year. The coldest winters may be the best, as the falls freeze into fantastic formations. The park is large and great for small kids. My sons and I used to like to walk the trail that follows the creek to the river, which is only a mile or so, and... More
