Minnehaha Falls is a 53-foot (16 meter) waterfall located in Minneapolis in Minnehaha Park on Minnehaha Creek, a tributary of the Mississippi River located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Minnehaha means waterfall in Dakota language.
Minnehaha Falls has a secret which is revealed towards the end of winter. As the frozen waterfall begins to melt, holes appear in the sheets of ice which reveal something if not extraordinary, then very cool indeed. Minnehaha is an overhang waterfall, which means there is an air space behind the falling water. And behind that air space there is a small cave.
The beautiful cave waterfall is easily accessible during the year by foot with just a short hike . In winter, extremely cold temperatures freeze the cascade creating the magnificent sight of water flow on pause! The bright blue glowing ice feels grotto behind the waterfalls and quickly turns into a multi-colored sheet of rainbowed ice as the light shines through.
