Explore the Ridge View Trail, Osceola Loop

Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway

The Osceola Loop of the Ridge View Trail winds through a dappled forest high above the St. Croix River.

Stroll through wooded bluffs on a ridge high above the St. Croix River. Listen for the creek cascading down the gully. In the spring, wildflowers bloom in the forest shade. In the fall, this trail offers stunning colors as the maples turn orange and yellow. Bring your snowshoes for a winter hike with breathtaking views of the river below.
