We’ve seen some impressive first descents of waterfalls over the past couple of years, but the video below captures one of the more unique ones. It features a paddler going over Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What makes this so interesting is the urban setting, where it is clear that heavy flooding is making things a bit crazy out on the water. This isn’t as big of a drop as some of the others we’ve seen, but it is impressive none the less.
