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! But what you might not expect is that, in the heart of the Twin Cities at Shadow Falls Park Preserve, you can experience a waterfall with a feature like few others: a perfect walking path behind the curtain of water!
Along the Mississippi River, and off Summit Ave. in Saint Paul, you can find a long scenic park with gorgeous walking paths.
