Minnesota State Park Looks ‘Other Worldly’ With Ice Spray From Waterfall

This is absolutely insane and breathtaking! Conditions were just perfect at a Minnesota State Park to create some of the most amazing images I've ever seen. The river at the park and falls have opened up with a spring thaw, but overnight temperatures have caused some pretty unique conditions.

Minnesota State Parks and Trails posted the photos and the information on Facebook. At first glance, it looks like some strange, alien world, not northern Minnesota.

It's in fact at the Grand Portage State Park. The park is located along Minnesota's North Shore and is just a few miles south of the Canada Border.

The reason for the spectacular sight is the fact that the Pigeon River water levels are very high, and the falls have been emitting a spray for the whole area.

As they put it, the High Falls viewing platform has been laminated with a coat of ice.

It's thick too, and with temperatures staying around freezing, it will be around for a few days. However, this next storm could bring another 12" of snow to the area Thursday-Friday.

Some of the trees have had so much ice forming on them, they have bent over and frozen to the ground. It looks like some type of formation from another world.

The park is still open, and the paved walkways leading to the falls are clear, but the wooden boardwalk and platforms are covered with ice and no longer wheelchair accessible. They will update the public when that is open again on the Grand Portage State Park webpage.

If you want to see it, make sure you bring the proper gear and be careful. Besides the icy areas, much of the park is very muddy from the spring thaw.

Good luck reading the information plaques!
