Split Rock River Trail
Split Rock State Park
On January 14, 2024, Kim, Cash, and I hiked along the southwest side of the Split Rock River from Hwy 61 to where the trail crossed the river. We had hoped to come down the other side but the bridge across the Split Rock River was out and there was no safe way to cross the river, and we were quite cold by then. This trail was beautiful and fun, we will definitely do it again.
