Much has been said about the beauty of Minnehaha Falls. It’s even mentioned in a famous poem, The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. So it should come as no surprise that there are many ways to get out and enjoy the waters of Minnehaha Creek. Paddling trips upriver are common, and those who want to see the falls themselves have no shortage of trails above and at the base of the waterfall. We highly recommend either of these options – especially if they come with a trip to the tasty restaurant we’d like to feature today. Sea Salt Eatery is steps away from the waterfall. Serving up delicious food in a fairytale location, it’s an unbeatable place to eat any time you’re near Minnehaha Falls. Read on below to learn more about this restaurant:
