In Minnesota, there are plenty of gorgeous waterfalls that can be found throughout the state, but only some are easily accessible - nestled just below highways, around corners, and through a few yards of trees. While we wish every waterfall was as easy to reach as the stunning Minnehaha Falls, it's not usually the case. However, the following eight waterfalls near me are all beautiful and super easy to reach. This is great news for those of us who aren't very strong hikers.

1. Pigeon River Middle Falls

The Pigeon River falls near the border are all easily accessible from the road, and the sight of them are absolutely amazing to behold.

2. Winnewissa Falls - Pipestone National Monument

These stunning Minnesota falls are found on a short paved hike in Pipestone National Monument.

3. Gooseberry Falls - Gooseberry Falls State Park

Minnesota's most beloved falls are some of the most easily accessible. A short paved pathway will lead you to all the stunning tiers of water.

4. Temperance River Falls - Temperance River State Park

On the North Shore in another beautiful park for waterfalls, this small pathway and bridge will give you epic views of the cascades and river mouth.

5. Lower Falls - Minneopa State Park

This park has two beautiful falls to look at, and both are easily accessible with a short walk.

6. Ramsey Falls - Alexander Ramsey Park

Right next to the parking lot in this adorable park you can find these beautiful falls. The rest of the park is also very scenic to tour.

7. St. Louis River Falls - Jay Cooke State Park

The falls under the swinging bridge at Jay Cooke State Park are right down the small hill from the parking lot and are also some of the widest and most stunning. Take special note of the beautiful water color.

8. Vermillion Falls - Vermillion Falls Park

Located right off the main road, these beautiful falls are situated along an amazing walking and biking path in Hastings.
