    Before this dam was built in 1910, there had been a natural falls at this site known as Big Falls. It was a favorite picnic site for the townspeople in nearby Cannon Falls. The bridge over the Cannon Falls at this location provides a dramatic view of both the water flowing over the dam and downstream of the Cannon River, heading to join the Mississippi River. The Mill Towns State Trail crosses the Cannon River on this bridge. For a complete history of the original Big Falls and the construction of the dam, see this website: exit69history.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/3

      I love to check on the falls here, especially after a ton of rain, even a few days before as all the feeder streams that feed the Cannon raise the water level.
