Bay City, Wisconsin, is located at the head of Lake Pepin, a natural lake that formed about 10,000 years ago when the Chippewa River deposited large amounts of sediment into the Mississippi River, creating a natural dam. Lake Pepin extends 21 miles downstream along the Mississippi River from Bay City to Reads Landing. The Bay City bayfront offers spectacular views of Lake Pepin, framed by towering limestone bluffs on both sides. Waterfowl and raptors are abundant in the waters and along the shoreline.

Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin (and that is saying something!). Fresh cheese curds plus a dozen or more flavored cheese curds. Other various cheese and dairy products. Plus a counter serving ice cream, coffee, and sandwiches. Plus you can get Wisconsin beer, wine, and spirits.

Trenton Bluff Prairie State Natural Area preserves a remnant of the dry prairie ecosystem that once lined the Mississippi River bluffs. The 110-acre site includes two distinct units of dry "goat" prairie perched atop steep, 300-foot sandstone bluffs. These bluffs are capped by towering vertical cliffs of dolomite limestone, revealing a clear view of the region's unglaciated bedrock layers. The high elevation offers sweeping views of the Mississippi River and its sandy terraces. As a State Natural Area (SNA), Trenton Bluff Prairie is managed primarily for ecological preservation. There are no restrooms, water sources, or developed picnic facilities on-site. There is a trail that is challenging, with a steep grade that climbs nearly 300 feet in elevation over its short, roughly 0.8-mile length. It dead-ends at the northwestern edge of Trenton Bluff.

This is the premier landscape view in all of Kinnickinnick State Park. From this vantage point, you can see the Kinnickinnick River on your left as it enters the St. Croix River, with the state of Minnesota stretching out on the opposite shore.

Nice small nature center, picnic area, playground, and river views.

The bench is marked with the phrase, "A unique sense of place on the St. Croix River." In 2008, over 60 residents of Prescott, Wisconsin, collaborated with artist John Tarula to create the Butterfly Bench. This bench is located within a vibrant butterfly garden, which was also part of the "Bench Project." Master gardener Kathy Oss provided guidance to the team on native plants that attract butterflies, helping to create a habitat for these important pollinators. The project connects a series of artistic benches situated in various small towns throughout the St. Croix Valley. It encourages both residents and visitors to explore the region's scenic beauty, unique communities, and cultural attractions.
