Whether or not most know it, Minnesota is the perfect place to find large, stunning waterfalls. In fact, a trip up the North Shore will take you past some of the most scenic falls in the region!

Along the Mississippi River, and off Summit Ave. in Saint Paul, you can find a long scenic park with gorgeous walking paths.
