The 33-Foot Frozen Waterfall At Ramsey Park Is One Of Minnesota’s Hidden Winter Attractions
For people who haven’t spent much time in Minnesota, the winter may seem like a total drag. With snow, ice, and cold dominating the landscape, it probably doesn’t look like there’s any reason to go outside. But anyone who’s spent a winter in Minnesota knows that there’s plenty to do if you’re willing to seek it out. The North Shore is a go-to for anyone seeking natural beauty in the frozen landscape. But there are plenty of other places to find gorgeous scenery as well. Come winter, southern Minnesota is home to a 33-foot frozen waterfall that might just be the state’s best hidden winter attraction. Read on below to learn about this spectacular spot:
Ramsey Park is a lovely park known for its immense natural beauty. It becomes even more breathtaking in the winter, under a blanket of snow. The park is in Redwood Falls, Minnesota, a small city about 115 miles southwest of Minneapolis.
The park is known for its vast size. At 256 acres in area, it is the largest municipal park in Minnesota. It's often called the Little Yellowstone of Minnesota.
Picnic and camping facilities also draw many visitors to this park. A sheltered picnic area will let you take refuge from the snow while you still enjoy the wonderful view.
In the winter, this waterfall becomes a frozen mass of water. The silence of the park combined with the absence of rushing water make this an almost otherworldly sight.
If you're looking for an interesting place to visit during a Minnesota winter, head to the little-known Ramsey Park. The gorgeous waterfall there is an absolute must-see.
