Minnesota is known for many things including cold winters, thousands of lakes, and sweet corn. There's one thing we are definitely not known for, and that's waterfalls. However, as many Minnesotans know, waterfalls are something the state deserves to be known for. Not only do we have a multitude of phenomenal falls throughout the state, but we even have an underground waterfall, in addition to a disappearing waterfall. Despite what out-of-state folks are saying, Minnesota is the place for waterfalls and it's about time for people to start realizing it. To help get you started, listed below are 10 epic waterfalls near me that are certainly worth a visit.
