A woman who was airlifted after falling off a waterfall overlook at Gooseberry State Park on Saturday has died.
 
A 9-1-1 call came in to Lake County dispatch just after 7 p.m. reporting that a 20-year-old woman had fallen approximately 30 feet from the lower falls at Gooseberry. The woman was later identified as Rebecca Nara. 
 
A Gooseberry Falls park ranger and Lake County Rescue responded and headed to the base of the falls to carry the woman out. The woman was flown by Life Link to Essentia in Duluth. 

Nara died this week while at the hospital.
