Interstate State Parks; St. Croix Falls, WI and Taylor Falls, MN
The rugged beauty of the Dales of the St. Croix River, which straddle the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, had drawn visitors even as far back as the 1860s. But in 1895 when the beloved tourist destination was threatened with plans to grind the basalt cliffs for gravel, Minnesota and Wisconsin were galvanized to establish the first two cooperative state parks in the country in order to preserve the unique landscape for generations to come.

About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
In 2008, Minnesota voters passed a landmark piece of legislation — the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment — which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history, and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.

Memorial weekend Joe and I spent camping in Taylors Falls, MN. It's the same campground we stayed for our honeymoon 7 years ago! We spent the first day hiking around Taylor's Falls. We started hiking at Interstate State Park on the Sandstone Bluffs Trail, then the Railroad Trail, then hiked through The town of Taylor's Falls, dabbled a little on the River Walk Trail, and finally hiking back on the River Trail. We then ended the day playing 18 holes of mini golf at the campground.

Kayaking St. Croix Scenic Riverway at Taylor's Falls, MN
An August 2012 kayaking trip up the St. Croix river from Interstate State Park, Minnesota side, to near the high bridge and back downstream to the sandbar area. Much of the river was very shallow but in the Dalles area very deep with a strong current. This is the most scenic part of the river. Normally we would go down river to the Osceola landing but felt this loop was more fun albeit challenging to paddle upstream against a stiff current. The St. Croix is a federally protected river. The water was clean and clear. Swimming is prohibited but this rule is routinely ignored. You can try your luck at fishing but there are restrictions on bait. The water near the Dalles area is very deep and can have strong undertows. All and all a fun paddle!
