Prairie Creek Mini Falls - Nerstrand Big Woods State Park

During my visit to Big Woods State Park I walked downstream from Hidden Falls to see what might catch my eye. Not far from the falls I came upon this rock ledge overhang with a mini falls created by rain water following some drainage path or perhaps water from a natural spring. The water was dripping off the ledge and hitting layered shelves of a blue-grey rock which I found attractive.

 

It was intesting that to each side of the blue-grey rock the ledge was undercut to a greater degree. I wondered if it was indeed a spring and was somehow related to this vein of harder rock.
