Pierce County — Two Rivers, World-Class Trout, and Wisconsin's Best Cheese Curds

Pierce County packs a remarkable density of distinctive features into its 576 square miles. The Kinnickinnic River — flowing through downtown River Falls — is a nationally recognized Class 1 wild trout stream, drawing fly fishing enthusiasts who travel specifically for its wild brown and brook trout populations. The Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery, founded in 1910 by 30 local farm families, produces 180,000 pounds of cheese curds daily and ships across the United States — its fresh daily batches at 11:00 AM draw lines of visitors. In the village of Elmwood, a series of unexplained UFO sightings in the 1970s prompted a federal government working group investigation — earning Elmwood the title "UFO Capital of Wisconsin," commemorated annually during UFO Days. At Prescott on the county's southwestern tip, the St. Croix River flows into the Mississippi — a geographic landmark marked by the Great River Road Visitor and Learning Center.
