Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis is flowing at a mere trickle as drought to the disappointment of visitors who traveled to see the landmark. This is the second time this summer that the falls went dry. During drought in 1964 when President Lyndon B. Johnson was to visit Minnehaha Falls, upstream hydrants were opened to provide water for the falls. CBS Minnesota (Minneapolis), Sept 19, 2022
