Particularly Special Place
Description
The name Kawishiwi in the Ojibwe language means "river full of beaver or muskrat houses". This waterfall is between Garden and Fall Lakes on what was once an important trade route. Native Americans, explorers and voyageurs have portaged around them since time immemorial. The wooded and winding trail down to the falls offers beautiful photo opportunities, as do the falls themselves.
Short Hike: The large dirt parking lot for this trail is just north of Fernberg Road (County Road 18, MN Highway 169) about 6 miles east of Ely, MN. There are no fees or permits required to park here or to visit the falls.
Gem Type: Waterfall
