Black River State Forest — photo spot in N4170 Smrekar Rd, Black River Falls, WI 54615, USA
Black River State Forest
Mixed hardwood forest, sandstone bluffs and the Black River offer layered compositions: winding river channels, rapids, exposed rock faces and open oak barrens. Best at golden hour and during fall color or after spring rains when flow and contrast are strongest. Multiple trailheads and small parking areas off Smrekar Rd and county roads; entry is free but check seasonal gate closures. Weekday mornings are quiet; expect muddy trails after rain and snowy access in winter. Drones may be restricted—
