点评:I’ll admit I am writing this review after reading someone’s review that they couldn’t find Minnehaha Falls in the park.
I really find that hard to believe as the falls are street level just as you enter the park at the northwest corner and just south of the main parking lot. They can be viewed directly across from Sea Salt.
I grew up near here and have been visiting the park for over 60 years.
There is fr no handicapped parking available right next to the pavilion which is right across the street from where the creek is about to go over the falls. Otherwise, there are pay lots.
After viewing the falls from the top, make your way down the stairs where you can view them from the bottom on a stone footbridge.
Head east from there and follow the creek to the Mississippi River. While the trail is rustic, it is pretty manageable for most people.
If you have children, especially in the summer, head over to Wabun Picnic Area. It is at the northeast corner of the park at the intersection of Minnehaha Parkway and 46th Ave.
There is a wonderful inclusive playground as well as a zero-entry wading pool with a lovely fountain. There are lots of mature trees there, including Burr Oaks. Parking at Wabun is free.
You can continue to head east and then north on to West River Parkway where you will travel on top of the beautiful Mississippi River Gorge. If you head west on Minnehaha Parkway instead it will follow the creek upstream and take you past Lake Hiawatha, Lake Nokomis and Minneapolis’ beautiful Chain of Lakes.
翻译:我承认,我是在看到有人评论说在公园里找不到明尼哈哈瀑布之后才写这篇评论的。
我实在难以置信,因为瀑布就在公园西北角入口处,主停车场南边,与街道齐平。从Sea Salt餐厅对面就能看到瀑布。
我从小就在这附近长大,来这个公园已经超过60年了。
凉亭旁边没有残疾人停车位,凉亭就在溪流即将倾泻而下瀑布的街对面。除此之外,附近还有其他收费停车场。
从瀑布上方观赏完瀑布后,可以沿着台阶往下走,在石桥上从下方欣赏瀑布。
从那里向东走,沿着溪流一直走到密西西比河。虽然这条小径比较原始,但对大多数人来说都很容易走。
如果你带着孩子,尤其是在夏天,可以去瓦本野餐区。它位于公园东北角,明尼哈哈大道 (Minnehaha Parkway) 和第 46 大道 (46th Ave.) 的交汇处。
这里有一个很棒的无障碍游乐场,还有一个带漂亮喷泉的浅水池。公园里有很多参天大树,包括毛栎 (Burr Oak)。瓦本公园 (Wabun Park) 的停车场是免费的。
您可以继续向东行驶,然后向北驶入西河大道 (West River Parkway),沿着美丽的密西西比河峡谷行驶。如果您选择向西行驶,沿着明尼哈哈大道 (Minnehaha Parkway) 向上游行驶,您将途经希亚瓦萨湖 (Lake Hiawatha)、诺科米斯湖 (Lake Nokomis) 和明尼阿波利斯美丽的湖泊群 (Chain of Lakes)。
