Minnemishinona Falls

Minnemishinona Falls seems it might be an out of the way not so well known area although it does have a small picnic area and parking.  It is a free site (no state park sticker required).  It is on Judson Bottom Road which partially is on County Highway 41 and partially is it's own rustic road.  Again there are brown destination signs to guide you to parking and once you find that there is another sign to tell you which way the falls is - which is just a skip from the parking area.

Frozen falls are pretty cool.  This is a 42 foot waterfall. These had a fracture along the top of the frozen falling part and I'd love to be there when it finally let's go.  It is in the country but across the street is a residence but just look for this bridge which is on the left side if you are coming from Mankato.  From County Highway 41 you take the exit for Rockford Road and roundabout your way to get onto Rockford Road, which is also County Highway 41.  At one point you'll see a sign for Judson Bottom Road going off to the left just keep going straight because the falls is just up the hill after the curve and on the left.

Not far from here is Minneopa State Park and Minneopa Falls.

Pretty cool difference between winter and summer!  Doesn't even look like the same falls.
