Historic rivertowns.  Spectacular scenery.  Outdoor recreation.  Indoor events. These are just a few of the attractions that draw visitors year-round to the St. Croix Valley.  Nestled between Minnesota and Wisconsin in a picturesque valley, the St. Croix River flows between bluffs of limestone and sandstone, beginning as a narrow gorge with steep vertical walls, then slowing and widening into the scenic Lake St. Croix.
