St Croix River

Featuring:
Riverside to Highway 70

The Dalles The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway offers several days of leisurely canoeing. On the reliable waters south of Riverside, choose from camping sites along this 30-mile section of flatwater. Then downstream of Nelsons Landing, hang on through the rapids. Once you reach the confluence of the Snake River, coast on to Highway 70.

Near Minneapolis St. Paul, power boaters enjoy the still waters of the St. Croix - except during spring floods (shown here at The Dalles N45.398° W92.656°).
