Wisconsin's Paradise Springs: Fishing Pond, Frog Wading Pool, Springhouse, and Trail in Nature Area

For those asking about the moniker Minnehaha alternating with Paradise Springs, the first name acknowledges a Sioux princess even as that princess in the Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Sat., Feb. 27, 1897-Fri., Mar 24, 1882) adores Chippewa/Ojibwe warrior Hiawatha.

Wisconsin cultural topography admits among its native tribes native Chippewa/Ojibwe, Menominee, Potawatomi and Winnebago.

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Does Irish mythology differentiate between hares and rabbits?
