Welcome to the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway website. We hope you find the site useful, your understanding and appreciation for the Riverway grows, and you will join us in caring for this remarkable national resource. The Riverway includes 154 miles of the St. Croix River from Gordon, Wisconsin to its confluence with the Mississippi River and the entire 98 miles of its Namekagon tributary. The St. Croix River is one of the last undisturbed, large floodplain rivers in the upper Mississippi River System. The Riverway is an unrivaled combination of exceptional natural and cultural resources and scenic, aesthetic and recreational values. The Riverway boundary outlines an irregular, narrow corridor averaging about 1/2 mile wide along these two rivers. A mosaic of ownership includes the National Park Service, private landowners, the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin, counties, and communities. Caring for the Riverway is a story of people and organizations working diligently over many years. River dynamics and industrious humans provide excitement and challenge to the tale. Planning a paddle or floating trip on the river? You may need maps, river levels and outfitters. Looking for a certain type of activity or what programs are offered check here. Want to learn more before you come, how about History or Nature? Take some time to explore the site and have a great visit when you do come. Questions can be sent to e-mail |
