Picnic Point, Lakefront Park, 1st and Buckeye Streets, Hudson, WI 54016
The River Bench was created by 60 Hudson children and parents who contributed more than 1,000 hours to the project, working with local artist Lynn Jermal. The history of Hudson's connection to the St. Croix River is expressed in mosaic designs throughout the fish-shaped bench, including Native Americans paddling their canoes, birds and other wildlife, and children playing along its shores. An engraved stone timeline also marks Hudson's history.
