Discover River Falls

River Falls offers several distinct starting points for planning your trip: the Kinnickinnic River and trails along the water, mountain biking trails, parks, and cultural and culinary experiences. You can therefore first decide whether nature and outdoor activities, the city’s stories and art, or a culinary event will shape your stay. These themes give your search for a hotel in River Falls a clear direction and help you choose the destination based on the experiences that suit your trip.

River and Nature

The Kinnickinnic River flows through River Falls and is a popular natural area and recreation destination. The spring-fed river is 22 miles long and is a premier trout stream. This describes both its natural character and its role in the local recreation scene. For visitors who want to associate River Falls primarily with scenery and recreation, the river is a clear focal point. The Kinni Trail System connects directly to it, following the river.

Trails and Parks

The Kinni Trail System follows the Kinnickinnic River from Heritage Park through Glen Park to the southern end of the city limits. Whitetail Ridge has 7.5 miles of mountain biking trails, as well as loops for beginner and advanced riders, wooded singletrack, flow trails, and challenging jump lines. The two offerings have different focal points: for the Kinni Trail System, the river route through named locations is key; at Whitetail Ridge, the mountain biking distance and trail types take center stage.

At Glen Park, trails connect with the Kinnickinnic River; the park also includes a public swimming pool and a splash pad. This distinguishes the park from Whitetail Ridge: Glen Park combines river-connected trails and water facilities in one park, while Whitetail Ridge offers mountain biking trails of different types. Falcon Outdoor Adventures rents outdoor recreation equipment to the campus community and the people of River Falls.

Culture and Events

The digital city tour “A Walk Through Time” lets you discover various places and buildings in River Falls; unlike the Kinni Trail System, which follows the river, the tour focuses on places and buildings. Heritage Park hosts the local art fair “Art on the Kinni” every year, on the first weekend after Labor Day in September. If you are traveling for the fair, check the dates for the relevant year.

Tattersall: Class and Tasting

The Tattersall Cocktail Academy is an interactive class featuring four seasonal cocktails and gourmet bites. At the Tattersall Market & Tasting Room, customers can sample spirits before buying them. The two offerings are distinct: one is a class featuring seasonal cocktails and bites, while the other gives customers the opportunity to sample spirits before purchase.
