The Upper and Lower Minneopa Falls on Minneopa Creek in Minneopa State Park are just a short walk from the parking lot and a perfect place for a picnic.

The "Big Hill"

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This hill always sticks in my mind as one of the first places I got a bike up to 35 mph. Fun fun and ends at a bridge going over the Blue Earth River.
