For precise navigation, program your GPS directly to 2336 Coulee Rd, Hudson, WI, and watch for official St. Croix County directional signage as you turn off Coulee Road. Overnight stays and long-term parking are typically restricted, so be sure to observe all posted municipal signage to prevent ticketing or towing.
