Cascade River State Park WARM SEASON USERS: Since you will travel through remote, forested country side, you should take a map, a compass, extra food, clothing and water. Tell someone where you are going and when you will be back. During insect season, be prepared for usual Northwoods conditions.

Fall colors are usually quite spectacular because the Trail follows maple coveredridges. Birch/Aspen stands are also widespread.

mndnr.gov For most of its length, the trail provides a back-country experience for thetrail visitor. In some areas, wilderness conditions seem more accurate.

Surrounding areas include a wide variety of development and human activity, butthe vast majority of the trail visit is a remote, natural and undeveloped setting.

Among the experiences awaiting the visitor are encounters with native wildlife, such asmoose, deer, bear, fox, raptors, waterfowl, songbirds and possibly timber wolves. Views

of rivers, lakes, valleys and scenic overlooks are a part of the trail experience. Visitors will also have the opportunity to observe man’s activities, including logging, forestry, farms,

wildlife and fish management, cabins and others.
