Dale Cox has worked as a Park Ranger with the National Park Service for over 25 years, most of that time at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. He sees the history of our nation's rivers as a cautionary tale of how humans use these resources, and a reflection of the landscape from which they flow. bookmark

Even before they were protected as part of a new and unique National Park in 1968, the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers were well-known paddling and fishing rivers. Over 50 years later, these waters continue to create memories. Whether you are a beginning kayaker looking for an easy day paddle or an experienced canoeist searching for a week-long adventure, this program will introduce you to over 200 miles of protected waters at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway that await your discovery!
