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

The geologic story of the St. Croix River is rich with history and one of the best ways to see for yourself is from the seat of a kayak. Join us as we paddle along this stretch of geologic importance where we’ll witness the iconic Dalles of the St. Croix and learn how water and stone have come together to create this natural beauty.

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.
