About this city
Also known as: The City of Trails
Positioned directly opposite Taylors Falls, Minnesota, along the dramatic basalt gorges of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, Saint Croix Falls is the county seat of Polk County. Known as the 'City of Trails,' its geography was carved by ancient glacial torrents, creating rugged bluffs and deep river potholes. It serves as a bustling hub for eco-adventure and is home to the western terminus of Wisconsin’s premier hiking trail.
