St. Croix Valley and Bluff Country

Venture outside the city and take a drive in the countryside. There are many places to visit, especially in the St. Croix Valley and Bluff Country, with gorgeous river views, stunning cliffs, and autumn color. This 52-mile stretch from Taylors Falls to the confluence of the St. Croix River with the Mississippi River at Hastings offers much to see. Hastings is a quaint community on the bluffs known for its Victorian architecture, especially along the historic downtown streets. Visit the LeDuc Historic Estate, a Gothic Revival mansion open for tours through the end of October each year, which is especially picturesque with the backdrop of the autumn trees. Stillwater is another fun place to stop. The largest city on the St. Croix, it's also one of Minnesota’s oldest towns and has historic architecture where you'll find antique shops, galleries, indie book stores, and local small restaurants. It's a place where you can rent a bike and enjoy the scenery, including biking a five-mile loop trail connecting the Minnesota and Wisconsin sides of the St. Croix River. 04 of 05

One of the most popular ways to see the foliage is to head to the breathtaking North Shore region—which is geographically the west shore of Lake Superior.
