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

Join us for a paddle down the Namekagon River to explore how the river connects us to the past. Paddling through time,  we will explore how humans have utilized the river for the past 10,000 years and get a glimpse into what the future might hold.

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.
