Minnesota has a reputation for being relatively flat. After all, the state’s highest point is only 1,322 feet above sea level. But that doesn’t mean there are no places to see interesting terrain. In fact, one of the coolest places in Minnesota involves venturing early 80 feet below the earth’s surface to a one-of-a-kind cavern that has its very own underground waterfall. Take a look:

Niagara Cave is a well-known southern Minnesota spot for curious adventurers. You'll find it at 29842 Co. Hwy. 30, Harmony, MN 55939.
