This 46-foot waterfall is located on the Nicollet County side of the Minnesota River Valley's Alternate route between the small community of Judson and the City of North Mankato (approximately 2 miles from State Hwy. 14). The highway is #41 and there is a small timber bridge at the site. No close-in parking is available at this time; visiters to the falls do best by parking to the east of the falls and walking in. The falls and all the property around it are privately owned. At this time the owner of the falls is interested in dividing it from his land parcel and selling it to a public entity. The Nicollet County Board has an appointed committee looking into what can be done. Funding is not available from the County and grants must be sought after. The tentative plan would be to acquire the falls, some additional property along the east side of the falls for an observation site, the property between the falls and the highway for access to the observation site; to construct parallel parking to the east of the falls together with a paved trail for access; and to construct fencing to limit access to the top of the falls, as well as, to private land below the bluff.
