Have you discovered this hidden gem inside Interstate State Park in Wisconsin? Tucked away from the main part of the park, this waterfall is located on the Silverbrook trail, and is currently full of rushing spring rainfall.
We know the weather is going to be crazy the next few days, but it’s still got us thinking of spring trips!

Take a hike with us to a different side of WI Interstate State Park!
The winter trails are open and ready to explore. The lack of snow makes these trails wide open and accessible to hikers.
Following the Quarry trail down to the Point Loop trail gives you a good glimpse of Folsom Lake, which is hidden inside the park. Take advantage of our no snow winter to explore a different side of the park!

The River Spirit Statue, commissioned by the City of St. Croix Falls in 2007, and created by local artist Julie Ann Stage, is a sight to behold, especially with the colorful fall backdrop of the Wild and Scenic St. Croix River, and the powerful hydroelectric dam.
The artwork can be found at Severson Memorial Overlook Park, located in downtown St. Croix Falls. You’ll find gorgeous views that overlook the river, the dam, and our neighboring town of Taylors Falls, MN.
Take the short stroll to the charming downtown shops, or on the city trails that run along our river. Be sure to check out the new renovations happening at the Historic Auditorium, located directly across the street.

Sometimes a fall vibe is about slowing down, and appreciating the simple things. A good cup of coffee. The cozy spot to watch the rain. A peek of a rushing waterfall from the charming town streets.
Life is good in #thestcroixvalley
Come for a vacation. Stay for lifetime.
The Mammoth Challenge is back!
Hike, Walk, or Backpack anywhere along the Ice Age National Age Scenic Trail during October for 43 miles and visit 3 trail communities to participate.
it’s a FREE event sponsored and supported by the @iceagetrailorg
You can start anywhere on the trail, but we would be delighted if you would start right here in St. Croix Falls, WI! It makes a great start point (it is the Western Terminus of the trail) meaning the trail literally starts (or ends, depending on your route) right along the high bluffs of the St. Croix River inside Interstate Park, WI.
If you hike the entire St. Croix Falls Segment, you’ll log 9 of your 43 miles right here. And, since St. Croix Falls is an official Trail Community, you’ll get a check in that challenge box too.
Learn more about St. Croix Falls as a trail community by visiting our website! Link in bio.
You’ll like the drive. You’ll love the destination.
Hurry up and get here! Fall has arrived.

Don’t let fall get away without a fall getaway. Here’s a secret tip if you want that quieter, less crowded-fall feel: book a mid-week stay. You can find all sorts of cozy spots without the noise.#thestcroixvalley #stcroixvalley #stcroixfalls #taylorsfalls #fallgetaway

Who doesn’t love a good view?
If you’re a fan of birding, the St. Croix Valley is for you.
In a #coollittlerivertown just to the south of us, is Osceola, WI, and the access to Cascade Falls from downtown is now OPEN again! Follow us as we show you the way to the falls. Be sure to check it out yourself, and, if you can brave the cold, stand under the falls and get drenched. #thestcroixvalley
We love the trails overlooking the St. Croix River as much as our visitors, but we encourage you to explore the trails through our woods and meadows too. St. Croix Falls is the “City of Trails” and we have miles of different types of trails to offer. Come with us as we highlight two trails that are part of the St. Croix Segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The signs of spring are abundant and it’s peaceful on these trails. For more information on trailheads and terrain, visit the trail resource section of our website!#iceagetrail #thestcroixvalley #cityoftrails#stcroixfallswi
