| The word Minneopa comes from the Dakota language & is interpreted to mean "water falling twice," referring to the beautiful waterfalls of the Minneopa Creek. Walk the trail which encircles the falls, leading down a limestone stairway to the valley below. Ascend the opposite side & enjoy a panoramic view of the valley which reveals the underlying geology of this area. Visit Seppmann Mill, a wind driven grist mill fashioned in German style from native stone & lumber, or hike through oak savanna & native prairie grasslands overlooking the scenic Minnesota River Valley. |
