St. Croix State Park

Bench in William O'Brien State Park on St. Croix River in Minnesota.
Bench in William O'Brien State Park on St. Croix River in Minnesota.
The St. Croix river reflects up onto the underside of the cliffs above. Hiking south from the boom cave between the cliffs and the river in the fall after the foliage has dropped. You can hike about three tenths of a mile to just below the scenic overlook before you hit a private property line. A short but fun hike with views you won't find elsewhere. Also, the tree in the upper left is growing straight upside down from the cliff above.
