Had a great hike! Very easy trail, lots of families walking by. State parking pass is NULL for daily or NULL annual. Clean restrooms friendly staff. For hiking info download the AllTrails app. 🥾
We revisited this beautiful Park for three nights in our RV. The weather was fantastic with much time for hiking trails and cooking meals over a roaring 🔥 fire
This week we revisited the prairie trails. Just the right length, and not too challenging
We hope to return later in the Summer

Gorgeous park along the St. Croix! First time visiting and was very impressed with the quality of the trails. Hiked the Hiking club trail, trail itself was well-maintained. Good mixture of views, very peaceful. Several sections were close to roads, so you can hear people who live nearby/traffic in the distance. May had a lot of wildflowers!
I loved William O’Brien State Park! I walked the short riverside loop trail and decided to rent a kayak for 4 hours around 3 o clock on a Thursday for NULL. Highly recommend do so, you can hang out at Lake Alice or go up the river and allow it to gently bring you back. There are other boats as it is a popular boat launch, but people wave and are respectful of space. Saw a lot of fish jumping, canoes are also available.
