Hidden Falls at Big Woods State Park

The Hidden Falls hike in Nerstrand Big Woods State Park is a straightforward 1-mile out-and-back trail, generally rated as easy. Starting from the picnic area, the trail guides you through the "Big Woods," a hardwood forest ecoregion. Along the way, a boardwalk spans a sensitive area, showcasing the endangered Minnesota dwarf trout lily. Finally, at the trail's conclusion, you'll discover Hidden Falls - a charming 20-foot waterfall discreetly nestled in the heart of the Big Woods! (Submitted by Travis Flasch)
