 | | A summer daytrip on the St. Croix River | 
|
What is there to do and see here? Our emphasis is to get people out to experience the resources of the St. Croix Riverway. With that goal in mind we often suggest the following activities:
Outfitters are listed on the web site for canoeing, boating, fishing and hunting. These private companies can help you have a successful visit or you can bring your own boat or canoe. Look at maps for where you can launch a boat or a canoe. Dalles of the St. Croix is one of the feature attractions along the river. It features hiking trails around the potholes and along the river as part of two state parks, Minnesota and Wisconsin Interstate. Information on some of the nearby tourist attractions is available at Things To Know Before You Come and Nearby Attractions
2. Where can one eat? Most of the communities along the Riverway and some of the roads connecting them have restaurants from fast food to sit down. The larger the town, the larger the selection. 3. Are there any trails in the area? Our website contains trail information regarding bicycle, horse, hiking and snowmobile trails. Brochures are available for many of the trails at visitor centers or the hiking brochure. 4. Where are the fish biting? Trout are usually found in the upper part of the St. Croix and the Namekagon. The St. Croix is known for its Smallmouth bass fishing. For more information visit fishing under Things to Do. 5. How do we get to the St. Croix Falls? The falls such as they were, came to an end when the hydroelectric dam was completed in 1906. The falls at St. Croix Falls and Taylor Falls were a series of cascading rapids that went upstream 4-5 miles. They blocked navigation and provided water power. The town of Osceola, WI still has a waterfall that can be viewed from Main Street. It is called Cascade Falls. 6. Where is there to camp? The majority of our campsites are river accessible only. There are some campsites that you can drive to, but you must walk in to the campsites. These are primitive campsites that can not be reserved. There are State Parks, State Forests, County Parks, and Private campgrounds that provide drive in accessibility and more amenities. |
