Education & Discovery Delivered to You

A Mobile National Park Visitor Experience

Meet EDDY

EDDY (Education & Discovery Delivered to You) is a partnership-powered resource on wheels, bringing programs, exhibits, and river stories to your community. Created through a collaboration between The National Park Service – St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and Wild Rivers Conservancy.

National Park Service

Bringing the Riverway to the people

Our rivers span over 250 miles, and with only two permanent visitor centers, visiting one can be challenging for some. EDDY helps us meet people where they are, making it easier for everyone to learn about and enjoy these nationally significant waterways. This joint effort combines the resource expertise of St. Croix National Scenic Riverway staff with the community engagement strengths of the Wild Rivers Conservancy team.

Where will Eddy go

EDDY will travel throughout the St. Croix and Namekagon River watershed, visiting:

  • Community Events & Festivals
  • Schools & Libraries
  • River Access Points & Parks
  • Local Gatherings Across Wisconsin and Minnesota
