William O'Brien State Park
Score4.4River bluffs, pine and oak forests, meadows and the St. Croix River create diverse compositions: riverscapes, reflections, fall color, and intimate woodland scenes. Best light is sunrise/sunset along the river and golden-hour shafts in the pines. Accessible trails and parking at the main lot (day pass required in season). Weekdays and early mornings avoid boaters and hikers. Seasonal highlights: vivid autumn foliage, spring wildflowers, and misty river mornings.
