Minneopa Creek Gorge 2 - Minneopa State Park, MN

I wanted to show more of the details of the gorge. I loved the gorge wall and how deep the sandstone had been cut away by eons of water flow.

 

I was sure the heavy rains last week would produce good flow for the falls at Minneopa State park so I made a visit there this past weekend. There were only a few leaves with color but I thought the early morning light in the gorge was excellent.

 

Minneopa State park, established in 1905, is the third oldest state park in Minnesota after Itasca State Park and Interstate State Park. The name is derived from native american words meaning “water falling twice” which describes the two-tiered waterfall located within the park.
