Recreation in Park Falls: Trails and Parks

The city has seven parks for recreational activities. Park Falls’s parks offer places to launch boats, canoes, and kayaks. The city’s trail systems provide opportunities for ATV riding, snowmobiling, hiking, biking, and walking across thousands of acres of public land. Those planning their days on foot or by bike have different activities in mind from travelers who want to use motorized trails.

One specific connection links Riverside Park and Hines Park: a paved recreational trail along the Flambeau River connects the two parks. Riverside Park also gives ATV riders and snowmobilers direct access to the trails.

Seasonal Access at Tuscobia State Trail

Tuscobia Trailhead County Park is a day-use park on the outskirts of Park Falls. It provides access to the Tuscobia State Trail via two parking areas. ATV riders can use the trail from May 15 through November 15. Snowmobilers have access from December 2 through March 31, weather permitting. The time periods therefore vary by activity; weather conditions must also be taken into account for snowmobile access. Check conditions before your visit. The park also has a five-acre pond that supports a waterfowl population.
