St. Croix River

Designated a National Scenic River, the St. Croix combines smooth water and low to medium-hazard rapids. It is navigable from its source at Solon Springs to its mouth on the Mississippi River. There is, however, a dam and portage at St. Croix Falls. The lower portion (below St. Croix Falls) is open to commercial traffic. Many marked campsites are available along the river. The Riverway Visitor Center in St. Croix Falls will help you plan your canoe trip.
