Coldwater Spring (Minnesota)

Coldwater Spring is located about 1.5 miles south of Minnehaha Falls on the Mississippi River bluff. From Hwy 55 in south Minneapolis turn east (toward the Mississippi) at 54th Street, take an immediate right and drive south along the frontage road with the parking meters, go through the cul de sac and the chain link fence, past the aqua brick building, and follow the curvy road to the great willow tree beside Coldwater reservoir.
