DESCRIPTION:
Crystal Falls is one of the first falls I visited in my youth. It's only 50 feet off HWY 20. Look for the Park Rapids sign and parking area.
Crystal Falls drops about 60' in two tiers. There are user built "trails" to get down to the pool level. In spring, while the run off is heavy,
I've photographed it from pool level. The photo looks like a small dog sitting. I'll add that image when I find it.
Any time you are in the area, be sure to stop and enjoy Crystal Falls
