I can now check High Falls off my bucket list. This waterfall is 120 feet, the tallest in the state and is a must-visit if you find yourself near the Minnesota-Canadian border by Lake Superior.
A quick turn into the Grand Portage State Park parking lot off of Highway 61, and a short half-mile walk from the parking lot is all it takes to see one of the most breathtaking waterfalls Minnesota has to offer. The half-mile trail is paved and has a boardwalk near the falls making it very easy for both young and old adventurers.
Along the paved path to High Falls, the first of two stairways on the right leads you down to a view of the Pigeon River. Be sure to check out the Pigeon River Gorge using the second trail and stairs on the right. This gorge lies just downstream from High Falls.
