National Trails Day Hike, St. Croix Falls Segment – Indianhead Chapter

June 1 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Ice Age Trail Alliance, Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Ice Age Trail, Indianhead Chapter, Polk County

Celebrate a beautiful day on the Trail with a visually stimulating section (almost five miles) of the St. Croix Falls Segment. Look for two six-inch nautilus fossils embedded in a limestone footbridge and follow boulder-strewn Mindy Creek. Stroll through a nature preserve and park, following the St. Croix River’s scenic shoreline until you arrive at Big Rock Creek, the hike’s turn-around point.

For anyone who doesn’t want to hike the entire distance, volunteer shuttles will be at the Lions Park parking lot to take hikers back to their vehicles.
