The list is a work in progress. Information on some of these species is limited, especially those listed with a question mark. Please report any new species, or those listed as occasional, rare or accidental.

Did You Know?
Winged maple leaf mussels were thought to be extinct until some were rediscovered in the St. Croix River in 1987. Today scientists are helping to raise young mussels and re-introducing them into their former range including St. Croix National Scenic Riverway to help prevent future extinction.
