This series of blogs is for anyone who has ever been to Minnehaha Falls and/or followed Minnehaha Creek down to its junction with the Mississippi River.
October 1st, a friend and I went down to see (or not see) the dried-up Minnehaha Falls. The newscasts say it's been over a decade since this happened last.
Today's image is below the falls and down the creek a bit, looking toward the route to the Mississippi.
These things run in cycles and the water will come back eventually. Here are some links to news and history:
- 2022 drought YouTube video
- 2012 U of M project and analysis
- 2009 Minnehaha Trickle article
- 1955 local area history
- Early 1900s history of the falls in general
- Newly released book about the seedier history of the falls
