DULUTH – With most of Minnesota in a state of drought, the rushing waters of many of the region s inland tributaries and rivers have slowed to a trickle, including the western side of the North Shore s Gooseberry Falls. Its lower falls have run dry, offering a rare view of the famous waterway.
While it s not unusual for that side to dry up, it s usually later in the summer, said Nick Hoffmann, assistant park manager for Gooseberry Falls State Park.
Gooseberry River, which drains from the Gooseberry watershed, is flowing but at a lower rate. If this dry weather continues, there is a possibility the falls could dry up in late August, Hoffmann said, which hasn t happened in about 15 years.
