Cascade Falls is a 25-foot waterfall where Osceola Creek plunges into Wilke Glen in downtown Osceola before joining the St. Croix River. It is reached by a wooden staircase of over 150 steps near the village center.
At 25 ft, it stands above roughly 16% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Cascade Falls (Osceola) sits on Osceola Creek. You'll find it in Polk, Wisconsin. It is protected within Village of Osceola.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. Base a visit out of Osceola, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
