Part one of our article on the St. Croix park showed some of our favorite fall color pictures from the park and river. Below are few more for your enjoyment.

St. Croix Park Recreational and Camping Facilities and Attractions
The parks are open all year. In the winter on the Wisconsin side there are 12 miles of cross-country skiing/snowshoeing trails; on the Minnesota side no x-c trails but they do offer some snowshoeing trails. Other times of the year Wisconsin offers 12 hiking trails totaling about 8 miles, whereas the Minnesota side has 6 trails, some of which include very unique geological formations. The parks are most popular in the summer offering rock climbing, hiking, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, swimming, and camping. The Wisconsin side has the largest campground sites (2 areas) but the Minnesota side is the only campground offering RV hookups. RV users on the Wisconsin side will need to “dry camp” but there is a dump station near the ice age center. See our links at the bottom of the page for maps and other information on recreational and educational attractions offered by the Interstate Parks.
