Wild River State Park is a 6,803-acre (27.53 km2) state park of Minnesota, USA, curving along 18 miles (29 km) of the St. Croix River. This long, narrow park is shaped somewhat like a sideways 'S', with development largely concentrated in the lower third. The remote upper sections flank the mouth of a tributary called the Sunrise River. The park is named after the St. Croix's designation as a National Wild and Scenic River.
