Saint Anthony Falls

Saint Anthony Falls was a large waterfall. It is found northeast of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was the only large natural waterfall on the Upper Mississippi River. It was also called the Falls of Saint Anthony. The natural falls were replaced by a spillway after it collapsed in 1869.[1]
