Riverside Landing to Sand Creek Landing

St. Croix River Map 5:

A top aquatic predator, the muskie is also the “king” of fish for many anglers. It hides in the darkness, darting out with sharp teeth to eat most anything, including ducklings.

In This Stretch

• Keep right of the islands a few miles downriver from Riverside Landing. The river becomes the border of the two states (Minnesota - Wisconsin) just past these islands.

• The river slows then, and paddling is easy for the next 10 miles.

• Large groups of people on tubes may be encountered upstream of the Highway 48/77 bridge. Stay to the left at the rock ledge.

• Continue staying left as Thayers Landing is located immediately downstream of the bridge.

• The main landing for St. Croix State Park, Minnesota, is located behind an island on the right side of the river. Don’t miss it!

Enjoy the River Safely and Responsibly
