Experience Nature Like Never Before
Imagine taking a daring step onto a 137-foot glass walkway that seems to suspend you over a breathtaking waterfall. Visitors to Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park are experiencing just that, as the Falls Edge Glass Walkway has become an instant attraction since its opening in May. Positioned 50 feet above Sylvan’s Creek gorge, the walkway provides a thrilling perspective of the vibrant nature below.
A Heart-Pounding Adventure Awaits
The scenic journey begins with an easy hike along the 0.4-mile White Trail. As you approach the glass surface, you can hear the gasps of excitement and anticipation from fellow hikers. "You’re getting a thrilling experience," explains park manager John Trevelline. The unique walkway not only offers stunning views of Lower Minnehaha Falls to the right, but also gives visitors a chance to spot the bubbling artesian spring to the left.
More Than Just a Walkway
Once you reach the end of the cantilevered walkway, the experience elevates as it juts out over the upper falls, creating a heart-racing sensation of hovering above rushing water. Trevelline shares that with careful design allowing for slight movements, the walkway adds an element of excitement and realism to the thrill.
Enhance Your Visit with Additional Trails
For those looking to extend their adventure, the park offers several trails to explore, including the challenging 0.2-mile Red Trail leading to the magical Devil's Hole and the cooling microclimate of the nearby Devil's Icebox, a hidden gem where cold air keeps the ice lingering into spring.
