About Afton State Park

Glacial moraine and bluffland along the St. Croix River make up the land this park protects, with hiking trails running along the rolling terrain and river views. Birdwatching, picnicking, and camping are among the activities available there. To limit overuse, the camping area and swimming beach can only be reached on foot, since no vehicle access is provided to either.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
