Beth: Few people realize that the Mississippi River banks in Minneapolis, including downtown, is also a National Park Service unit. It has Native American and European settlement historic sites and natural features, such as the only waterfall on the entire Mississippi, the first bridge built across the river, the ruins of early Minneapolis, and also constantly dripping limestone cliffs with aquatic mosses, stands of cottonwood, and remnants of oak savanna on top of the bluffs.
