River of Resilience: History of the St. Croix Paddle

The St. Croix is flowing with history that shaped the river we love today. On this paddle you will learn about the role of the river in the human history of the valley, the challenges presented by humans to the river’s ecology, and how those challenges were overcome to produce a landscape worthy of a National Park.

Join Conservancy staff and a National Park Ranger for a day of experiencing the St. Croix River and learning more about what makes this wild and scenic river so unique.
