🌊 Minnehaha Park | An Urban Oasis with a Majestic Waterfall

Nestled within South Minneapolis along the banks of the Mississippi River, Minnehaha Park is a cherished 193-acre urban retreat most famous for the 53-foot Minnehaha Falls. Immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1855 poem The Song of Hiawatha, this stunning limestone waterfall is a year-round natural spectacle—lush and flowing in warmer months, transforming into a breathtaking, silent sculpture of blue ice in the heart of winter. ✨ The Minnehaha Park Experience: Follow paved paths to viewing platforms above and below the falls for incredible photos. Explore further along Minnehaha Creek to its confluence with the Mississippi, past the John H. Stevens House museum, through lush gardens, and to the beloved Sea Salt Eatery (seasonal) near the falls. In winter, the frozen falls become a major attraction for ice climbers and photographers. The park seamlessly blends natural beauty, recreation, and history, making it a perfect destination for a walk, picnic, or a moment of tranquility in the city. 📝 Short Social Media Caption: “Where poetry meets a 53-foot cascade. 📜❄️ Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis is home to the iconic falls—a flowing summer jewel and a frozen winter wonder. #MinnehahaPark #Minneapolis #Waterfall #UrbanPark #MinnesotaNature #WinterWonderland #Hiawatha #ExploreMN #TwinCities #OutdoorAdventure
