From Plymouth the waterfall trips all point east into the city. Minnehaha Falls is the obvious afternoon, 53 feet in a Minneapolis park with a mile-and-a-half loop below it. Saint Anthony Falls is a drive-up downtown, better seen on foot from the Stone Arch Bridge. Shadow Falls hides in a ravine on the St. Paul side at the end of a half-mile walk. Dogs are allowed at all three, and a single Saturday can string the whole set together.

Located at 45.0225°N, -93.4617°W
