From downtown Hudson, at the Vine Street stoplight turn east. Follow Vine Street up the hill to County Highway A (Carmichael Road). Turn left and follow County A to the park entrance. From Interstate Highway 94, take Exit # 4 and go north on US Highway 12 for about 1.6 miles. Go straight on to County Highway U for about 0.3 mile to County Highway A. Continue north on Highway A 1.5 miles. The park entrance will be on the left.
This place is magical! One of my new favorite hiking spots. The path to get down to the waterfall was a bit steep, so just keep that in mind. They had plenty of parking spots when we went, but we did get there early. I also loved that they have a selfie station to take pictures in front of the waterfall.
Absolutely loved this beautiful state park. We biked but hiking would have been fun too. You do need a state sticker to get into the park. Clean restrooms and a park area for the kiddos. Dog friendly. The waterfall was most amazing! I enjoyed this so much. I definitely recommend going here and enjoying nature and all its beauty. Nature is a natural antidepressant and does wonders for anxiety too! Great place for some phenomenal pictures. Go here!
Hidden gem! Great spot to connect with nature, very clean. Easy way to visit WI if you are driving from Minneapolis/St. Paul. Short trail is very steep, about 4 hills before getting to the falls. Wear tennis/hiking shoes. Parking fee is different for in-state vs. out-of-state. For Summer wear mosquito repellent, winter it’s an amazing view, check if the trail is open before heading here. I don’t recommend strollers if you bring young kids (use a kangaroo wrap). If you bring older kids bring water and get ready to walk. For older folks, remember your cane or trekking poles. Worth every step!
What an amazing State Park! The loop around the place is well kept and clean. No visible trash anywhere. The waterfall is absolutely amazing.
I brought my family here while on vacation over Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed all the trails and waterfalls. This is a great place for all ages. Don’t miss going to the nature center. It is free and not a lot of people take advantage of it. I would recommend this to all ages. Great camping sites too. We will be back every time we visit. It is $13 to get in that is a day pass and it includes everyone in the car. We went for the annual pass because we were visiting for two weeks. We went multiple days. So much fun and memories made together.
