Easy walk from the Blue Line Stop, and the trails are wonderful. A great mix of paved and dirt trails with adorable bridges, easy to navigate stairs, and of course the beautiful falls with multiple vantage points to see them. We went early in the morning before any crowds which was perfect. And followed the trail along the creek to the Mississippi River and back. Download the All Trails app for easy navigation while walking. Lots of historic education signs along the way, too. And if you get caught in the rain like we did, find a pavilion to run under!

Although the falls themselves are nothing too spectacular, they're still very beautiful and right in the middle of the city. There's also a short trail leading right down to the foot of the falls so you can get a better view up close. Good spot for a short hike/picnic.

An absolutely stunning park and a treasure. I've grown up going here semi-regularly and it still feels special every time. It's well maintained and the top of the park is accessible. The water fall is viable from the upper level. However, the lower level of the falls may not be accessible for everyone. Overall it's a gorgeous area that pays tribute to its history and has something for everyone.

The park was packed on Sunday. Had to be very patient to find a parking spot. It was well worth the wait. The Sea the Sea restaurant was packed. There was lines outside at least 50 deep But it was beautiful day out and we have had rain for the last 6-7 days so everybody needed to get out. The waterfall was amazing I highly recommend everybody to see it during the day and at night when they put the light on it. This has got to be one of the best waterfalls we've had in over 10 years The water going down to the waterfall was actually white capping and the currents are very strong. Not safe to go in. The water was up to the bank 2024 June

This place was cool, but, I couldn't find any resources that provided WHERE the waterfalls are located. The onsite map were of the park, I couldn't find anything indicating waterfall locations. After 30 minutes of wandering around we found one. There was a restaurant nearby and a band, so that was cool. You can go down steps to get to the base of the waterfall and from there was another walking path, but we didn't do that. We were there on a weeknight in the evening and I was surprised how many people were there on the park. Parking was hard to find, most of what we saw was paid parking for a couple bucks an hour.
