Gooseberry Falls State Park sits along Lake Superior's North Shore and is known for its beautiful waterfalls. Several falls tumble over rock ledges close together, and you can walk right up to them.
It is one of the most popular parks in Minnesota because the falls are easy to reach and fun for kids to explore. In summer families splash in the water, and in winter the frozen falls look like sparkling glass.
There are upper, middle, and lower falls all close together, with paths and stairs that let you see each one.
On warm days kids can wade in the shallow, smooth rock pools below the falls and hunt for cool stones.
A short walk from the falls leads to the rocky shore of Lake Superior, where waves crash against smooth stones.
