River of Resilience: History of the St. Croix Paddle
Join us for a scenic paddle along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway!
The St. Croix is flowing with history that shaped the river we love today. On this paddle you will learn about the role of the river in the human history of the valley, the challenges presented by humans to the river’s ecology, and how those challenges were overcome to produce a landscape worthy of a National Park.
This is a fully supported paddle. You will be provided with premium kayaks, paddles, and PFDs, as well as a shuttle service back to your vehicles after the paddle.
