Many beautiful paths to walk. Depending on how much time you have, there are paths to suite 20 min. or 1 hour or more if you do them all on a gorgeous day in northern Minnesota.

Great views of Lake Superior. Easy 1 mile walk to the beach which will be highly rewarded. Fine close up of the falls. Well stocked gift shop in visitor's center which is very clean and new. Bring camera and hiking shoes..

There are falls that are right near the car park so its easy to access. We also hiked back to the fifth falls area and it was a fairly easy walk and worth it. If you park at the visitor's center there is no charge for the falls or hiking. Great scenery!

This is a great place to hike around the lake, have a cookout in doors, and enjoy nature.

Yes we loved the hiking and the falls. They were rushing and people were taking pictures as we were and we are glad we stopped on our way north on the scenic drive.

We went to the upper and lower falls. We liked that we could walk right up to the water without barriers. Parents should definitely keep an eye on their kids here.

It's free! you get to walk around and see the falls. It is nice! Even with bad allergies, I still love going there no matter what time of the year it is. I love nature because it is so relaxing. I think anyone who goes to Duluth, MN should just take another half hour or whatever out of their day... More

This is just the most beautiful state park and it's my favorite because everything you want to do, you can! You can hike all around on the waterfalls! You can get in the water, shallow or deep... There are areas to get away from the people if you just want to bask in the beauty of this amazing place. There... More
