Landings and campsites are open year round. There are no fees for camping. Outfitters are available who rent watercraft or you can bring your own. Some landings and campsites have water available on a seasonal basis.  Wells are normally open late May through September and closed the rest of the year.  

The St. Croix River Visitor Center in St. Croix Falls, WI, has exhibits, including a large aquarium with native fish, a bookstore and the park movie.  It is open 9 am to 5 p.m.,  seven days a week during the summer. From October to April it is open 9 a.m.- 4 p.m., seven days a week, but is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day.  

A Visitor Center in Trego, WI, with exhibits, a park movie, and a bookstore  is open seven days a week, 9 am to 5 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day and weekends in September.   Exhibits highlight the history and natural resources of the Namekagon and upper St. Croix River.  A particular focus is on fish, especially the sturgeon, from which the Namekagon gets its name.
