If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of tips. Sitting 25 miles away, Hayward is worth the drive. American Birkebeiner Trail, National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum and Shues Pond Park alone justify the drive out here. Don’t forget about St Croix Falls either! Just 45 miles away, Wild Mountain, St Croix National Scenic Riverway and Interstate State Park are must-sees here.
