Took some visiting relatives to see the falls last weekend and unfortunately we haven't had much rain in the Twin Cities area and all that was there was a muddy hole and near dry creek.

There were several viewpoints that you could go to see the waterfall from different angles. There was an interesting historical house when you pulled into the park which I did not visit.

Beautiful Falls, with many area attractions and additional falls in the area. Great fish restaurant next to falls, and bike rentals available. Seeing it lit up at night is beautiful also. more
