Very nice park and walking paths in Hastings MN . Very nice water falls at the old mill. Make sure you go to the Extreme Sandbox while visiting Hastings.

The falls are wonderfully accessible from the parking lot and was beautiful. The only downside is the factory above the falls is loud and takes away from the natural sound of the falls.
We did follow the trail along the fence line for a bit, that was beautiful too

The falls could not be more accessible. Too bad there is a multi story commercial building looming over the main sector the falls.

The falls are beautiful no doubt.
However, I went down last Saturday to do the 10 mile loop which goes from Vermilion Falls Park down to the Mississippi river and around Hastings. If you choose to do this, know that the route has little to no marking to signify the trail. Also, the map from the city of Hastings website is useless.

The falls can be reached by car or bike/hiking trail. The area is quite pretty, whether stopping by for a quick peek or on a hiking or biking adventure.

Great hike with the family- kids are 10 and 7. It had rained so was a little slippery where it was muddy. Wear good shoes! Take the dirt path down to the river to get a view of the falls from the bottom. The overlook area is easy to get to from the park.

We often forget about the beauty in our own backyard! Vermillion Falls is a sight to be seen! Pack a picnic lunch or grab a cup of coffee at Dunn Bros and sit down to enjoy. The rush of water is mesmerizing and the nearby retired bridge is a great overlook of the Vermillion River. Don’t miss out on this natural wonder!!! You won’t be disappointed!

We followed the trail to the top of the falls but would love to go back- what trail do you take to get "under" the falls? And, how do you get to he old mill ruins?

I'm not certain you can "get under the falls" anymore. My brother works at the mill and he said some of the trails have been closed due to safety. We stayed at the hotel across the street so we walker under the bridge to get to the park instead of driving to it and we walked a different trail every day. None of them are that long and they will all lead back to the parking lot. Just make sure you go after a good rain so you can see the falls in it's full glory - beautiful. Not much left to the old mill but you can still see remains of it.

Curious about the huge industrial building next to the falls; (in Hastings) what it is being used for. This question was erroneously attached to my review of the Plummer House near Rochester. Sorry if that was my error. Mardyk2015

It used to be owned by ConAgra. I don't know if it still is but up until recently it was owned by them. I know it is still in use.
I've read all kinds of reviews about hiking but can you bike the trails?
