Hiking

Picture
The hills and valleys are laced with hundreds of miles of hiking trails in Western Wisconsin.  The Osceola area offers something for all skill fitness levels -from a leisurely walk among the wildflowers to a back country climb up a rocky outcropping.

You can start right out from downtown Osceola and hike up to Eagle Bluff, head to the St. Croix River or drive to miles of trails in Standing Cedars and disappear into the countryside. Find diverse forestlands, climb to a breathtaking view or pull off your boots and cool your feet in streams along the trails. The waterfalls and Osceola creek right in town rush, gurgle and roar. Our Polk County Visitor center is stocked with maps and information, like this one from the National Park Service. Or start here with a few favorites.

Bicycling

Picture
Bring your bike and head out for a great ride on the 14 mile Stower Seven Lakes Trail or the 47 mile Gandy Dancer Trail. For a shorter route, ride out to nearby Rustic Road S and get on the Osceola Loop for a ride along the woods and trap rock outcroppings.   For a countryside ride, discover River Road with organic farms and acres of restored prairies teaming with birds and butterflies along the road. You’ll likely see wild turkeys, a herd of wild deer or occasionally even sand hill cranes.

Birdwatching

More than 200 species of birds have been spotted in the Osceola area, and at least half that many are known to nest in the area. Whether you take a woodland or prairie walk on an easy trail or head out for some country hiking, listen and keep your eyes open for everything from songbirds to screech owls to eagles. Every elevation in the treetops and valleys along the river holds distinct bird habitats and many birds make Osceola a stop on their yearly waterway migrations through the valley.
