Description

Minnehaha Falls is a 53-foot (16 meter) waterfall located in Minneapolis in Minnehaha Park on Minnehaha Creek, a tributary of the Mississippi River located in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The Falls are located near the creek's confluence with the Mississippi River, not far from Fort Snelling, Minnesota. While the name is often translated as "Laughing Water", the correct translation is "curling water" or "waterfall." The name comes from the Dakota language elements mni, meaning water, and ȟaȟa, meaning waterfall. The "Laughing Water" translation comes from Mary Eastman's book Dahcotah, published in 1849. On the Fort map of 1823, the falls were named Brown's Falls. The Dakota called Minnehaha Creek "Wakpa Cistinna," meaning "Little River.
