Willow River State Park

If going to hike to the falls at this park it is steep but solid wide trail! With plenty of benches to stop and take breaks along the beautiful walk to see the falls. We hiked with a little 12 year old doggy and a 7 year old it was perfect! Wonderful bridge and a look out at the falls. The look out is a serious amount of steps but very well maintained and again doable for most able to walk. Just t... If going to hike to the falls at this park it is steep but solid wide trail!

Love this State Park. It's especially beautiful in the Spring, Summer & Fall. Multiple trails. If you want the shortest hike to the waterfall, Park in the upper Falls Lot. ( Go to the right after you drive past the park office window). Just an FYI, the path down is a very steep incline. ( Maybe under a mile round trip? ) Not too bad going down, but brutal on the way up. Especially is the... Love this State Park. It's especially beautiful in the Spring, Summer & Fall. Multiple trails. If you want the shortest hike to the waterfall, Park in the upper Falls Lot. ( Go to the right after you drive past the park office window). Just an FYI, the path down is a very steep incline. ( Maybe under a mile round trip? ) Not too bad going down, but brutal on the way up. Especially is the path has snow / ice. There are 2 benches for resting / catching your breath along the way. You can park your car in the lot down by the beach for a less steep hike, but it is quite a bit longer of a hike to the falls. There are bathrooms in the park office during open hours. Otherwise the bathroom facilities are closed during late Fall / Winter. I think the vault/ pit toilets are still open?
