I was looking for a place nearby and I found this gem. This place has everything! Elevation, valley, water, a beach, pine trees. It is now one of my favorite places. I like hikes that require effort and this is definitely one of them. For those who don't want it, there are other easier trails. On this occasion I didn't bring a swimsuit but I will definitely bring one next time to reward myself after a long hike. The view of the water is beautiful and even more so with a picnic. I loved the good signage. There are maps at every intersection. There is no way you can get lost or confused.

Beautiful state park! Lots of great hiking paths, and some of them are paved and fairly accessible. Great views of the St. Croix river. This is a wonderful spot for a day trip, camping, or even if you just have an hour or two for a scenic stroll.
