Yes, it's true that we are seeing some snow here in St. Croix Falls and the surrounding valley on this Halloween.

Here's your chance to weigh in. Are you ready for the snow (TREAT), or do you think it's way too early (TRICK).

Are you on team TRICK or TREAT?
(And, if you're old enough to remember the Halloween Blizzard of 1991, share your story in the comments).

Deep autumn brings us the start of cozy season.

Late Fall ushers in a quiet season in the St. Croix Valley, bursting with the trees' heavy rusts and golds and the rustling of the fallen leaves. The hustle of the peak season is over, and many visitors find a certain solace in enjoying our outdoor spaces without the crowds. We invite you to spend time outside here in to feel a little reprieve and benefit from the natural therapy of the outdoors before the snow flies.

There's still plenty of time to plan a visit to St. Croix Falls during the Mammoth Hike Challenge!

The Mammoth Challenge is a yearly hike event sponsored by the Ice Age Trail Alliance and encourages residents and visitors to hike 44 miles and visit 3 trail communities anywhere along the 1,000 mile WI footpath during the month of October.

St. Croix Falls is a special part of this trail.
We are the Western Terminus of the trail, meaning we are the start/end at the west side of the trail. The St. Croix Falls segment consists of 9 miles, and easily connects to other trail segments. We are also proud to be an official Trail Community if the Ice Age National Scenic Trail!

It’s still a full day before the official Hunter’s Supermoon, but it’s looking awfully pretty against the dark October orange and gold leaves today.
