Minnehaha Creek Park(2)

🏖️ Relax by the Lake, Slow Down to Half Speed Just a 15-minute drive from the falls, Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet are local hotspots for chilling out. Bring a picnic blanket and lounge on the soft sand, watching sailboats glide across the azure lake while clouds drift by like cotton candy. 🌤️ There are also vintage mini trains and ice cream carts by the lake, instantly taking you back to a carefree childhood. ✨ Hidden Easter Eggs Aurora Egg: If you visit in the fall or winter, head to the shores of Lake Superior (like Gooseberry Falls State Park) in the early morning for a chance to see the aurora dancing on the water. 🌠 📌 Lazy Tips 1️⃣ Best waterfall photo spot: The rocks to the right of the observation deck (be careful of slippery surfaces). 2️⃣ Forest hiking gear: Non-slip shoes + mosquito repellent, as the rocks by the stream are covered in moss! 3️⃣ Lakeside sunset recommendation: Harriet Bandshell, where there are free open-air concerts every Saturday evening. 🎵 #MinnesotaWeekend #WaterfallHealing #ForestBathing #HiddenTravel #SlowLife 🌟
