        Minnesota's Backyard: River views, billion-year-old rock formations draw visitors to Interstate State Park
    




        
    
The border between Minnesota and Wisconsin here was formed by a combination of molten lava and melting glaciers over the past billion years. The St. Croix River Valley's hugely popular public access site features hikes along the bluffs and down to the river, and ways to see these stunning rock cliffs from water level.

        As water warms, release fish gently, quickly to ensure they live
    




        
    
Improper handling of fish increases the odds they may swim away, but die.

        Natural Connections: Bladderwort turions -- mysteries in the fen
    




        
    
Pulling up the whole plant — this species grows as a free-floating leafy stem less than a foot long — I found the namesake bladders. Smaller than an apple seed and of a similar shape, the translucent capsules sparkled in the sun. That beauty is deadly.
