Hike to Lost Falls

Black River Falls, Wisconsin

Description

Though the creek connecting to the falls is only about a quarter mile long, the natural beauty of the small waterfall will catch your eye.

The Lost Falls are located about 5 minutes outside of Black River Falls. To get to the falls, a short 5 minute hike from the road is needed. Along the Black River, there are multiple other spots that have these small, yet fascinating falls. To see them, you'd need a canoe, kayak, or boat. Although it's nothing to spend hundreds of dollars on a plane ticket for, if you're in the area, go get lost at the Lost Falls.

This is a fun and scenic stop near Eau Claire, WI. It is beautiful all year round, but especially in the fall. The mill was initially used to ground wheat, which was a very important part of Wisconsin's economy during the Civil War era. It has been used for many different things since then. Currently it is owned by Amish folks. They have a store you can walk through and there is a museum. ...

Canoe the Voyageurs Loop, Perrot State Park

Perrot State Park, located in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, is home to many tall bluffs, including Brady's Bluff and Trempealeau Mountain. Many elevated hikes give you a wonderful view of the Mississippi River and its surrounding bluffs, but the real treasure is seeing this area from the water by canoe. This state park marks the confluence of the Trempealeau and Mississippi Rivers. Start by r...

King's Bluff in Great River Bluffs State Park

Great River Bluffs State Park follows a series of impressive bluffs along the Mississippi River just south of Winona. For those of you who think Minnesota is as flat as a pancake (and I'm not saying there aren't places in the state that are), Great River Bluffs will be a surprise. King's and Queen's Bluff are half hills, gradually rising from the valley only to end in a 500 ft cliff along the r...

Hike to La Crosse Ridge

It is easiest to park your vehicle in the Myrick Park parking lot versus your other options. The great thing about parking in that lot rather than along the road/neighborhoods is there is a trailhead right there (and it's free). You can begin hiking this short little trail, which will lead to and be immersed in the beautiful nature of La Crosse right away (the trail starts in the NE part of Myr...
