Join us for a scenic paddle along the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway!

Join us for a paddle down the Namekagon River to spot some fish while surrounded by the beautiful fall foliage. Have you ever seen a fish quickly dart beneath you as you paddled and wish you knew its species? On this paddle, we will provide the tools and instruction to help you be more confident in your identifications.

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.
