WINONA, Minnesota – A hiker suffered “multiple injuries” after falling from a rock in Sugar Loaf Park on Friday evening, August 9, 2024.

The Winona Fire Department was dispatched to Sugar Loaf Park around 6:51 p.m., where a hiker was reported to have fallen from a rock, according to a fire department Facebook post.

“The patient was found by firefighters, treated and transported to a waiting ambulance,” the post said.

Winona EMS transported the person to the Winona Health Department. Winona Police and the Winona County Sheriff’s Office also arrived on scene.

This is the second hiker to fall from the cliff in the last two weeks.

“Please be cautious when in our parks,” the post said. “We want everyone to enjoy our beautiful community.”

Our newsroom occasionally reports under the name “Staff.” The “Staff” name is often used when rewriting basic news briefs from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure that requires little or no reporting. Sometimes this name is used when a story has multiple authors or when the story consists of compiling previously reported news from various sources. When outside sources are used, this is noted in the story.
