Things To Do In Afton
The Afton area offers wonderful activities for every season, perfect for a weekend getaway. Boating along the St. Croix River in the summer (rent a boat at Beanies), picking apples in the fall, skiing at Afton Alps in the winter, a round of golf at the Afton Alps golf course or a hike in the beautiful Afton State Park. After your day, return to your vacation home suite and be happy with the peace and quiet not possible in a conventional hotel or motel.
