Potential Falls for consideration
editSuggesting the following falls be added to the article. Note that some are currently part/obscured/hidden of/by a dam.
- Granite Falls (dam (?) on Minnesota River): A 1905 quotation from [1], ". . . located at falls in Minnesota River, . . .".
- Little Falls: Mississippi River, Little Falls, MN. The wikipedia article on Little Falls mentioned there was a falls located on the river. The article on the Little Falls Dam states the natural drop was about five feet.
- Minnemishinona Falls: located on small stream that joins the north side of Minnesota River, Belgrade Township, Nicollet County. Is mentioned in the article, with minimal information at the Nicollet County webpage - see External Links section. Per a 2006 press release from The Trust for Public Land (TPL), the 42 foot high waterfall was transferred from private owners to the TPL non-profit in 2006, and then re-sold to Nicollet County - see external links.

- Winnewissa Falls on Pipestone creek in Pipestone National Mounument, Pipestone, MN. The falls are featured (at least as of Aug 15, 2014) on the [| Monument's home page]
Why Two Lists of MN Waterfalls?
editI found in Wikipedia there are two lists of Waterfalls in MN. The page associated with this Talk page and this one. This does not, to me, seem desirable or necessary.
- This is a category of articles, the other a list of waterfalls, some of which do not yet have articles. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 15:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC).
