If you’re searching for day-trip inspiration, we’ve got a couple of tips. Located 20 miles away, St Croix Falls is worth hopping in the car for. Among your first stops here ought to be Wild Mountain, St Croix National Scenic Riverway and Interstate State Park. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Rice Lake, 20 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Northern Star Theatre. (But we’re also huge fans of Rice Lake Curling Club and Turtleback Golf Club.)
