River conditions on the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers are currently very high, fast flowing, and cold with significant amounts of floating debris, creating hazardous river conditions for river users and park visitors. NPS staff will continue to assess conditions and will open landings when they are safe to access.

“Our priority is keeping visitors safe. Everyone should use extreme caution during these high-water conditions and stay out of closed areas,” stated Craig Hansen, superintendent of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.

Please call 1-800-PARK-TIP to report hazardous conditions. Call 911 with emergencies.
