Hidden Falls Park

This wasn't my 1st visit to Hidden Falls Park, but today was the 1st time I actually found the waterfalls :-)Tip: The waterfalls are pretty nice, especially given that this park is smack-dab in the middle of a cityOn the down side, the paths here are not well maintained, and there's almost no signage. Getting to the falls involves walking over and around quite a number of fallen trees.While it has its shortcomings, if you want to seek out a quiet place to enjoy some time in nature, Hidden Falls isn't a bad place to head for :-)

This was a beautiful trail filled with gorgeous views, a lovely waterfall, and a stunning little stream that flows down to the river. Be sure to bring bug spray, or they will get you! Otherwise we had a great experience here.

Beautiful falls. Nice walking trail. Lots of things to see. Lovely tower to see it all before you make the trek. If you have the time, the cafeteria here is really good! Eat with a view.

Our first of hopefully many visits. Pleanty of seating for viewing and picnics. Operational bathrooms. Some paved trails others... not so much. I loved just sitting and watching the water stream bye.

After this morning's farmers market, I ended up strolling along the waters taking in the fresh smell of petrichor. The cool misty fresh air clung to my skin and the feeling of calmness set in. This park is an amazing park and is a spot where people come agate and fossil hunting. You can find your agates as well as fossils from the paleozoic era all in one place. This place is rarely visited many people visit Crosby Park across the river so this one is generally not busy. I do believe you need to have a permit for fossil hunting and correct me if I'm wrong they are no longer issuing them. Even with that said this is a great place to bring your family and friends. They have picnic areas as well as lots of parking.#hiddenfallsregionalpark

Very beautiful location to go for a hike or just to clear your mind. I went on a sunny day and it was cooler out so it made my experience very nice. If you have not checked out Hidden falls, I would recommend you do!

People complaining about not being able to find the falls. Look at the name, dude, then enjoy the adventure.I took the challenge and finding the falls wasn't so hard after all. And once I arrived, what a beautiful treasure awaited. You can't compare them to any of the grandeur falls (i.e. Victoria, Niagara) but they're still pretty cool, especially for a hidden spot within a Minnesota park. It was pretty crowded in the summer, but if you're patient, and cross over, walking towards the falls, you'll catch a spot to take a photo and/or selfie without a crowd in the background (even if just for like 2 seconds).

A great walk down the river with a cool waterfall. Pet friendly and bike friendly for the most part.

All the years we lived in St. Paul, we never made it down here. I guess I didn't know it existed back then. After doing a google search for parks with waterfalls, we stumbled across this one. Nice park, pretty quiet. Not too many people here when we visited. Many picnic tables, cooking pits, a nice view of the river, restrooms and a nice short hike up to the falls. The water was not very heavy flowing and the falls appear more man made, but still nice to see. There are a long set of stairs and a good work out to climb to the top part of the park.Nice park to come for peace and quiet and perhaps a picnic.

Three stars because it is flooded right now, but I think this place would be awesome when the water is lower. Currently (early April) the parking lots and entrances are closed due to high water. We were able to find a parking spot higher up on the bluff and walk down the stone steps to a small waterfall and stream. It's very scenic area to walk along the stream and the river. You can see and hear the Minnehaha dog park right across the river. There were also lots of picnic tables, and a public restroom which were closed. I can imagine this park gets very crowded in the summer.
