TAKE A CRUISE

These rustic country roads provide a serene, peaceful excuse to slow down and enjoy the sights and sounds of the valley. Don’t forget your camera and picnic lunch!

Route 101

Rustic Road Drive

Lightly traveled Polk County Road S forms a loop off WI-35 between Osceola and St. Croix Falls. A 4.3 mile long paved road features oak, cedar and pine trees, a trout stream, rock outcroppings and a variety of wildlife as it parallels the St. Croix River. If you would like to take a hike, the Ridgeview Trailheads are adjacent to the roads.

Route 103

Rustic Road Drive

Head onto Ridge Road for 8 miles. This winding route through farm country leads to the historic Somerset Landing which features a boat launch to the river and picnic area. Sandstone bluff outcroppings, tree canopies, prairie and farmland add to the views. In spring, many woodland wildflowers are blooming.

“Ideal for leisurely motorcycle riding and road biking.”
