Minneahaha Park is located at the intersection of Hiawatha Avenue and Minnehaha Parkway. Minnehaha is one of Minneapolis oldest and most popular parks. In the summer many visit the park for the abundent activities including concerts, picnics, walking and viewing the falls. In the fall, walking the lower trails reveals beautifully changing leaves. The Wabun Picnic area located within the park contains 4 outdoor picnic sites and a picnic shelter with cooking & restroom facilities. Minnehaha park is 193 acres with a 53-foot waterfall, limestone bluffs and river overlooks. The Park contains Oak, Elm, Silver Maple, Basswood, Hackberry and Cottonwood trees as well as native and prairie woodland wild flowers. Before Minnehaha was a park, it was a train stop with as many as 39 train trips a day from the Princess Station. The park was named Minnehaha, which means 'laughing waters', for the falls as they were referred to for the first time in Henry W. Longfellows poem 'Song of Hiawatha.'
