Minnehaha Park, Urban park in Minneapolis, United States
The 167-acre Minnehaha Park features a 53-foot waterfall cascade, extensive walking trails, and three distinct gardens along the Mississippi River.
Minneapolis Park Board acquired the land surrounding Minnehaha Falls in 1889, establishing one of the earliest state parks in the United States.
The park contains bronze sculptures of Hiawatha and Minnehaha, characters from Longfellow's poem, funded by Minnesota schoolchildren's penny collections in 1893.
The park opens daily from 6 AM to midnight in developed areas, with facilities including picnic spots, bike paths, and a seasonal seafood restaurant.
During winter months, Minnehaha Falls transforms into a frozen cascade, creating natural ice formations that persist until spring temperatures return.
