The east half and west half of Jackson County are divided by the scenic and wild Black River. For 10 miles, before reaching the County Seat of Black River Falls, the Black River winds its way through a channel cut into the red granite bedrock. Each side of the river is lined with granite boulders and mature white pine forests. This stretch of the river has almost no development until you reach the City of Black River Falls. This provides easy access to visitors from the Twin Cities or from southern Wisconsin and Illinois.
Visitors are always welcome.
