A friend visiting from Montana and I paddle the St. Croix on a windy and beautiful late autumn day; my first time paddling a canoe in November.
 Canoeing the upper St. Croix on the first day of August, we call the storm’s bluff, and are rewarded with solitude.  From its twisting and turning headwaters in northwestern Wisconsin to the surprisingly wild channels less than an hour’s drive from the Twin Cities, a paddler could spend a lifetime exploring the St. Croix River and still find surprise without even seeing all of its 150 miles.  St. Croix River Awareness Week is almost here! The St. Croix River Association and its partners are organizing a week of events to enjoy and help protect the river, featuring clean-up canoe trips, family-friendly seminars, film showings, and lots more.  Braving the rain to canoe the river and fish for smallmouth bass and carp. |
