About Kinnickinnic State Park

This Wisconsin state park sits where the Kinnickinnic River flows into the St. Croix River. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful river valley alongside busy water recreation on the St. Croix. A broad sandy delta forms at the river junction, and roughly ten miles of hiking trails wind through the park. Picnic areas and shelters are available, and boaters can picnic and camp on the delta.
