Then you drive another five miles of gravel road to the landing. By the time you get to the river, you feel like the hustle and bustle of modern life is pretty far away. The river–wild, undeveloped, beautiful–does nothing to dispel that feeling. ![]() A coalition of the National Park Service and state parks on both sides of the St. Croix River have announced a series of events this summer meant to get families out and enjoying everything the St. Croix has to offer. ![]() I will be talking about canoeing the St. Croix River, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and who knows what else as part of a panel discussion about water trails. ![]() St. Croix River Awareness Week has been scheduled for July 17-25. How can we celebrate the river and help protect it for future generations? |
