Question

Why Gooseberry Falls State Park?

Answer

Jonathan & I both have a great love for the outdoors, so it was important to us that the day was spent outside. We also, are fresh college graduates that needed an affordable option that would make our day feel special. Gooseberry Falls checked all our boxes. On top of that Duluth (and the north shore) has been a frequent vacation spot for Jonathan and I while attending MSUM and has become a special place for us.
