Minnehaha Falls, aka I’m Thtoopid
I went out for my long weekend run yesterday. Started from the north side of Lake Nokomis by the community center, took Minnehaha Parkway over to the river and back, then did a lap around Lake Nokomis.
Now, you know that spot where Minnehaha Ave and Minnehaha Parkway intersect? Where the DQ is? And Minnehaha Park?
As many times as I’ve driven, biked, and run through there, I never until yesterday realized that Minnehaha Falls are right there. I mean, I knew the falls were somewhere between Lake Nokomis and the river. But I’d never actually seen the falls until yesterday.
In my defense, they’re not very well marked. I mean, the park has a sign, but it doesn’t say anything like, “Hey! There’s a waterfall over here!” You can’t see the falls from the road. And with that roundabout, you are not at all looking around. You’re just trying to figure out where the hell you need to turn off.
Anyway, now I can say I’ve seen Minnehaha Falls.
