Park Falls is a small city in Price County, northern Wisconsin, and the gateway to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest — a vast tract of 1.5 million acres of public land that surrounds the area. The region is popular with anglers, hunters, canoeists, and hikers who come for the lakes and rivers of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
Just south of town, the historic Smith Rapids Covered Bridge spans the South Fork of the Flambeau River near Fifield. The Wisconsin Concrete Park in nearby Phillips contains a remarkable collection of outsider-art sculptures created by Fred Smith, a local farmer and logger who spent 16 years building over 200 concrete figures. At 1,951 feet, Timm's Hill near Ogema is the highest point in Wisconsin, an easy hike with views over the surrounding forest.
The Flambeau Paper Mill has been the town's economic engine since 1889, and its handsome 1905 office building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
