West of North Mankato a bluff lets Minnemishinona Falls pour 42 feet into its ravine, and the viewing platform stands close enough to the car that a stop takes minutes, dog included. Minnewankon Falls holds the second spot without measurements attached. Two falls in fifty miles is what this prairie country allows, and the ravines dropping toward the Minnesota River carry most of what vertical there is.
