Chisago Lakes area
This campground in Shafer (Wildwood RV Park), as well as our next two destinations, sit alongside the St. Croix National Wild and Scenic River.
* While here, we explored the St. Croix River three different ways: by car to see the dam (located across the river in Osceola Wisconsin), by paddle wheel boat on the river itself and by foot along the trails of the clifftops.
Bald Eagles abound here, as well as herons, beavers and deer.
* The Franconia Sculpture Park was the most unique and fun attraction only a mile away from camp! The park is over 50 acres big, and houses temporary & permanent art installations that are truly Burning Man worthy. The fun cool part that added to the magic was the chance to rent a Golf Cart to get around the grounds. Check them out at www.franconia.org
Chisago Lakes: We are a region of small towns connected by our Swedish heritage. Nestled among lakes, farms, and bordered by the St. Croix River, you will find Chisago City, Lindstrom, Center City, Shafer, Taylors Falls and more.
