Very cool gem tucked away in the heart of the city along the Mississippi. No signs lead down to Shadow Falls but some clear paths near monument lookout takes you up the gorge and towards the falls!

Although I didn't see any entry points to the river from the Shadow Falls Park side, while hiking in the park I did see multiple sandy, beach like areas on the other side of the river where people were in swimsuits and had tubes/other water sport equipment.

Is it a long walk to falls? Want to visit it with kids

It's a pretty short walk if you start at the monument, but the path to the falls isn't paved so be sure to wear shoes that can get muddy if it's rained recently.
