Both falls on the Hanley Falls list sit in the Minnesota River valley, a short drive from this small prairie town. Minnesota Falls, about 10 miles away just below Granite Falls, is a reach of river rapids that ran free again after a small Xcel Energy dam came out in 2013, and the page has no trail details for it. Ramsey Falls in Alexander Ramsey Park at Redwood Falls, 28 miles out, is the real walk, 1 mile round trip with about 100 feet of gain, and dogs are allowed. Flat cropland surrounds the town, so the drop into the valley's rock and river is a sharp change of scene.

Located at 44.6918°N, -95.6195°W
