St. Croix Falls is unique and fortunate to be located in an area rich in natural and cultural resources. The distinctive beauty of the St. Croix River Valley, numerous recreational activities, and proximity to Wisconsin's oldest state park (Interstate Park), has given rise to a flourishing tourism industry. According to Interstate Park, the park had over 354,000 visitors in the year 2000. Because of the large influx of tourists into the community, the services and retail trade sectors have benefited significantly by capturing tourist dollars.
As St. Croix Falls plans for the future, it will become increasingly important to tie the park/river and downtown together. By doing this, it will help ensure that downtown remains healthy and competitive.
