Shadow Falls Review

Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

Shadow Falls is a waterfall hidden in the forested cliffs along the Mississippi River, just next to the campus of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. The falls sits in a shady alcove, in the city but not of it, a removed slice of urban wilderness. There’s no thunderous gorge here, nothing gaudy or loud. It’s a quiet place, subtle and mysterious.
Shadow Falls Review embodies that same feeling, the comfort of the natural world mixed with foreboding. What will I find in these damp rocks? What’s hidden in the darkness? What am I really capable of?
We all have shadows, lived in and cast. Where water and light meet, mingle, and disappear. That’s where you’ll find us: Welcome to Shadow Falls Review!
