Day Trip - Monday October 18th, 2021- Drury Falls and Park


Normally our little day trips are on Sunday, but this week Monday seemed to be a better day.  See the map on the left which was suggested to me by Google.  We decided to take my relatively unused Mini-Cooper for the drive.  After looking at the map, I decided to deviate from it and simply go west to 135th St. and drive south.  It was smooth sailing until the road turned to gravel.  I'm not fond of driving on gravel with my Cooper, so we turned to the east and caught Highway 81 and drove south.  At South Haven, Highway 81 turned west. We reached S. Drury Rd. and turned south and then west to the Park and Falls.  

Below are some pictures of the falls along with some additional information about them.  First a picture of the falls and the mill that was built in 1883 but was destroyed by a fire in 1953.

 Below is a picture of the remains of that mill by the side of the falls.  







Finally some pictures that we took of the falls.  Hope you enjoy them.
