Where Can I Find The Best Waterfalls In Wisconsin?
- Pewit's Nest State Natural Area is one of those hidden gems that just seems to pack one surprise after another. Shaped by natural glaciers, it can be reached with only a short hike of about a mile. After passing a beautiful wooded area, you'll come to a waterfall swimming hole with several other small waterfalls in the area. Cliff-diving is strictly prohibited, but it's an amazing place to go for a swim!
- Buttermilk Falls is one of Wisconsin's best-kept secrets - located near Osceola, it can only be reached via a hike through wide-open prairie followed by a craggy and wooded path. This is a great place to spot wildflowers during the spring, but the main appeal of this hike is the hidden waterfall at its center - one of the few natural waterfalls in the state that will very rarely have a crowd around it!
- Lake Redstone County Park is another tiny hidden gem, and this small park is usually pretty popular with swimmers and athletes during the warmer months. However, many of them don't even know that this park has a hidden waterfall swimming hole! Created by a dam and spillway, the waterfall feeds into a crystal pool that makes for an amazing off-the-beaten-path swim.
- Not in the mood for a hike? Watershed Cafe is the rare place where you can see a waterfall from the comfort of your dining table! Located in the St. Croix River Valley, this restaurant has amazing patio dining with a view of a small waterfall. The restaurant's food is just as worth your attention - it features amazing hearty breakfasts and some of the area's best fried fish.
