Historic rivertowns.  Spectacular scenery.  Outdoor recreation.  Indoor events. These are just a few of the attractions that draw visitors year-round to the St. Croix Valley.  Nestled between Minnesota and Wisconsin in a picturesque valley, the St. Croix River flows between bluffs of limestone and sandstone, beginning as a narrow gorge with steep vertical walls, then slowing and widening into the scenic Lake St. Croix.

Taylors Falls, MN

 

There is so much to do at Interstate State Park, located on the beautiful St. Croix River right next to downtown Taylors Falls, Minn. The geology that formed Minnesota's oldest state park intrigues visitors and brings geologists from all over the world. It boasts the deepest sinkhole in the world--60 feet--carved by boulders grinding from the flows of melting glaciers 25,000 years ago.

 

Check with the park for daily hours. Campsites are available year-round.  It is best to call ahead and check on campsite availability.

 

The entrance fee for the park is $7 for residents and non-residents.
