Park has a real nice campground, and fun hiking trails in good shape. The big woods are cool as well. Picnic area with playground is better than average. The waterfall was a little underwhelming, I guess overhyped. Visitor center was closed as usuall in MN and not much else for park amenities.

Trails are nicely maintained. The waterfall and creek is crystal clear and very shallow. Lots of different routes you can take and loop back around. Bathrooms were clean and park was nice. Will visit again!

Did the hike to Hidden Falls. It was downhill either way which in turn meant uphill on the way back. You can go straight on the path instead of turning through the campground. That is just to make it a loop. If you go through the campground it is downhill on dirt and some rocks and if you take the dirt path straight down you will hit a boardwalk with steps for part of the downhill. It was not too steep and there were educational posts you could stop and read. There were some maps along the trail as well in case you wanted to hop on another trail. Good signage and easy to follow

Beautiful park with lots of trails. Easy trials, perfect for little ones. Hike to the hidden falls super nicely shaded. Too bad there wasn’t that much water during this time, the fall was small but still worth the hike. It’s not too far from the parking lot. Restrooms were closed but they had easily accessible portable potty’s.
