Visit Little-Known Minnemishinona Falls For A Glimpse Of One Of Southern Minnesota’s Tallest Waterfalls

It seems that every few weeks, we discover a new-to-us Minnesota waterfall that is just begging to be explored. They aren't all as popular as Gooseberry Falls or as easy to access as Minnehaha. But they are overflowing with natural beauty and are well worth visiting for anyone who loves waterfalls. The next time you want to go waterfalling, consider a trip to the Mankato area. Not only will you find the famous rushing waters of Minneopa Falls, but you'll also discover the little-known Minnemishinona Falls if you look hard enough. Listed below is everything you need to know about this hidden waterfall, which happens to be one of the tallest waterfalls near me.

Minnemishinona Falls is a 42-foot-tall waterfall in Nicollet County, Minnesota. More specifically, it's in the small town of Belgrade Township, just outside of Mankato.

The waterfall is easy to access via County Highway 41, also called Judson Bottom Road. There are signs as you approach the waterfall and a free parking area for visitors.

The main way to view the waterfall is via a pedestrian bridge that spans the deep gorge that the waterfall tumbles into. If you're afraid of heights, you might not like this one.

A thick forest of trees closes in on the gorge around the waterfall. It makes for a truly secluded feeling when you visit this little-known spot.

Look down into the gorge and you'll see a beautiful waterfall tumbling 42 feet over the rock. Depending on the season, the flow of the water may be thin. Your best bet is to visit after rain.
