I've stayed in Stillwater a few times and its a great little tourist town on the St Croix river. One spring recently I was there when the ice was still on the river, but the water was past flood stage. Kind of a weird combo. Here's what a park building on the river looked like at night...
Here it is the next morning. You can see the ice in the background.
Here is the Mississippi spring of 2012, in Onalaska, WI, looking west to MN.
I guess Onalaska is proud of their sunfish...
This is the bridge into LaCrosse on US Hwy 14. I just think these old steel bridges look cool.
And if you ever go to LaCrosse you have to see the worlds largest 6 pack...
Another interesting site going into LaCrosse in the winter is the frozen cliff side water leaks along I-90. The hill seeps water out, can't really call it a waterfall. More like leaks between the rocks of the cliffs from springs. Being MN and kinda cold, it freezes and builds up until they get quite large.
