These 4 Breathtaking Waterfalls Are Hiding In Minneapolis-Saint Paul

What are some awesome hiking trails with waterfalls around Minnesota?  

Minnesota is a great state for folks who love waterfalls. It’s home to 55 trails that feature one or more falls, and each of those hikes is absolutely worth a try. Some of our favorites include the easy, three-mile trek on the Fifth Falls and Superior Hiking Trail Loop, which is located at Gooseberry Falls State Park. It’s a gem of a hike that might just become your new favorite. Another amazing one is the hike to Devil’s Kettle, within Judge C.R. Magney State Park and leads to one of the state’s best falls (at least we think so). That one is two miles long and rated as moderate. Then, check out the Baptism River hike, which is 2.9 miles long, moderate, and leads to yet another one of Minnesota’s most amazing cascades. Other awe-inspiring hiking trails with waterfalls around Minnesota include the Temperance River Falls Loop (3.3 miles, moderate), Lookout Mountain Loop (3.2 miles, moderate), High Falls Trail (1.1 miles, easy), and Nerstrand Beaver Loop (2.5 miles, easy). There are plenty more, but these are all great places to start! 

What are the most amazing waterfalls in Minnesota? 

Minnesota is known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and with all those lakes come plenty of rivers to feed them, and with plenty of rivers come plenty of amazing waterfalls, of which Minnesota has no shortage at all. Among the ones we would argue are the most amazing is the famous Gooseberry Falls, which is probably the single most-beloved waterfall in the state, and Minnehaha Falls is also totally Insta-worthy. If you’re a fan of tall falls, check out High Falls of the Baptism River and High Falls of the Pigeon River – the reason for their names is pretty obvious.
