Wild River

Tubert

Wild River was a very nice park. We stayed at the Guest House for the weekend and it was very nice and cozy. The fireplace was warm and there was a good stock of wood outside. We saw a few deer hanging around outside, but they never asked to come in despite the cold and snow. They could have just walked in and stayed in the downstairs gear storage area if they had wanted. There would have been plenty of room in the spacious and open basement. We did some hiking on the trail by the river and spotted a colony of trumpeter swans having a dip in an open area of the frozen St. Croix! Their loud trumpets echoed across the river and were very impressive! I wanted to blat out a couple notes to see if they would come over for a chat, but decided against disrupting their bath. It would be fun to come back when it is warmer!

Beautiful and quiet. Rarely crowded. I highly recommend the river trails. Gorgeous scenery.

Beautiful park! We lived our stay. Just a word of warning...site 71 , even though nice and long, it has trees and the electrical panel that make it very narrow. If you have slide outs on both sides of you rig it might be tight.

This campground is sure secluded. The dirt road to the campground had a large downed tree completely covering the road 0.3 miles from the entrance to the park. We had to take a detour to get in. The park itself is easy to get lost in and was quite empty in the E loop, where we camped at site 93. It was actually really spooky. It would have been better to stay at one of the loops by the restrooms since they were more populated. However, despite all this, I made my first campfire by myself and we enjoyed s’mores. After putting out the fire, we turned in for the night. A few minutes after entering our tent, we heard footsteps and sniffing very close to us. The animal investigated our fire pit and tent area and was not spooked by my partner hitting the side of the tent. We kept quite when it was by our tent but found it extremely hard to sleep after it left.

Wild River State Park was incredibly beautiful and peaceful! The hiking trails were loaded with beauty, from prairie to river-side views to hilly forests and meadows full of wildflowers – it was a seasoned-hiker's dream. We also saw lots of wildlife. We will definitely be visiting again!
