Dakota people call the Mississippi River "Haha Wakpa" (river of the falls). The story of Minneapolis begins at Owamniyomni (turbulent waters, whirlpool, or eddy) or St. Anthony Falls, the only true waterfall on the 2,350-mile length of the Mississippi River. This ranger-led tour connects archaeological sites, nationally significant historic buildings and landmarks, while moving through an abundant natural environment.

Tours begin at the bandstand in Father Hennepin Bluff Park. You'll explore the historic riverfront of the area with a National Park Service ranger who will share stories about the area's past, present, and future.

The tour is suitable for all ages. We will walk up to 1.25 miles (approx. 2 km) on level, paved trails. Some sections offer little-to-no-protection from the weather elements. Wear weather-appropriate clothing and footwear.
