William O'Brien State Park

William O'Brien State Park stretches along the St. Croix River, featuring rolling wooded hills, prairies, and diverse ecosystems across its protected grounds.

The park received its official designation in 1947, becoming part of Minnesota's conservation network to safeguard natural resources for future generations.

The park serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local wildlife through guided programs focused on native species and environmental preservation.

The park maintains 124 campsites, 4 group camps, and 4 camper cabins, with facilities including flush toilets, hot showers, and electric hookups.

During winter, the park transforms into a cross-country skiing destination with specific trails groomed for this seasonal activity.
