The river forms from the Chiputneticook Lakes (North Lake, East Grand Lake, Mud Lake, and Spednic Lake) along the Canadian - U.S. border. U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps show the St. Croix River as beginning at the 1.0-mile-long (1.6 km) outlet stream from East Grand Lake, then flowing through the short Mud Lake and entering Spednic Lake, extending 20 miles (32 km) to its outlet at Vanceboro, Maine, and the start of the river proper.

New Brunswick Power has indicated their desire to remove the 138 year old Milltown Dam on the St Croix River between St. Stephen, New Brunswick (Canada), and Calais, Maine (USA). Currently, New Brunswick Power stakeholders, government officials, the Peskotomuhkati Tribe, locals, and the public are examining this proposed dam removal. Milltown Dam removal would restore Salmon Falls between St. Stephen and Calais. The Peskotomuhkati Tribe is also advocating for the removal of Milltown Dam and the full restoration of Salmon Falls. Milltown Dam was built in 1881 by New Brunswick Power and is the oldest operating hydro facility in Canada. Atlantic Salmon, shad, eels, and alewives would all benefit from this dam’s removal and ongoing habitat restoration.

The St. Croix River was one of the original eight rivers to have significant portions placed under protection by the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. The upper reaches of the river in Wisconsin below the St. Croix Flowage, 15 miles (24 km) downstream from its source, as well as the Namekagon River, are protected as the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. The free-flowing nature of the river is interrupted only by a hydroelectric dam operated by the Northern States Power Company at St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin . The lower 27 miles (43 km) below the dam, including both sides of the river along the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, were protected as part of the Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. This area includes the Dalles of the St. Croix River, a scenic gorge located near Interstate Park, south of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin . Although the addition of an interstate bridge connected to MN Highway 36 was objected to by residents, nearby communities, conservation groups, and the National Park Service, construction of the bridge was authorized by amending the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. Light and noise pollution are concerns of those opposed to the bridge, who cites the original act that kept such activity to the south along the Interstate 94 corridor. The St. Croix Crossing bridge was ultimately completed in August 2017. The St. Croix River Association (SCRA) is a watershed-wide non-profit advocating for conservation throughout the watershed. Founded in 1911 as an all-volunteer citizens group, it has evolved into a staffed, mature nonprofit organization and official "friends group" of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.

The lower 27 miles (43 km) below the dam, including both sides of the river along the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, were protected as part of the Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. This area includes the Dalles of the St. Croix River, a scenic gorge located near Interstate Park, south of St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin . Although the addition of an interstate bridge connected to MN Highway 36 was objected to by residents, nearby communities, conservation groups, and the National Park Service, construction of the bridge was authorized by amending the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. Light and noise pollution are concerns of those opposed to the bridge, who cites the original act that kept such activity to the south along the Interstate 94 corridor. The St. Croix Crossing bridge was ultimately completed in August 2017. The St. Croix River Association (SCRA) is a watershed-wide non-profit advocating for conservation throughout the watershed. Founded in 1911 as an all-volunteer citizens group, it has evolved into a staffed, mature nonprofit organization and official "friends group" of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.

 Jean-Baptiste-Louis Franquelin 's 1688 map recorded a "Fort St. Croix" on the upper reaches of the river. The name "Rivière de Sainte-Croix" was applied to the river sometime in 1688 or 1689, and this more auspicious name supplanted Father Hennepin's earlier designation. On Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississipi (1718) by Guillaume Delisle and on A Map of North America (1768) by John Blair, the St. Croix River—more specifically what was then known as the east branch of the St. Croix River (known today as the Namekagon River )—is shown as the Ouasisacadeba, a French representation of the Dakota name for the St. Croix River. On the 1778 Mitchell Map, the river is simply titled "Ouadeba", which represents the Dakota watpá meaning "river". The upper portion of the river—originally called the north branch of the St. Croix River—was known to the Ojibwa as Manoominikeshiinh-ziibi (Ricing- Rail River). Downstream of its confluence with the Namekagon, the Ojibwa renamed the river as Gichi-ziibi (Big River) or Okijii-ziibi (Pipestem River)
At the time of the European settlement of the valley, Dakota and Ojibwe were engaged in a long and deadly war with each other. Consequently, the portion of the river below the confluence with Trade River is called Jiibayaatig-ziibi (Grave-marker River) in the Ojibwe language, reinforcing the earlier "Rivière Tombeaux" name in their language. On Map of the Territories of Michigan and Ouisconsin (1830) by John Farmer, the St. Croix River is shown as the "Chippewa River". However, by 1843, Joseph Nicollet 's Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi River reinforced the name provided by Franquelin's 1688 map. History
The river is the result of geologic forces going back 1.1 billion years.

Naming
St. Croix River Dalles at Interstate State Park, Wisconsin. Father Louis Hennepin wrote in 1683, from information probably provided by Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut: " There is another River which falls ... into the Meschasipi ... We named it The River of the Grave, or Mausoleum because the Savages buried there one of their Men ... who was bitten by a Rattlesnake." In the original French, this is translated as "Rivière Tombeaux". Jean-Baptiste-Louis Franquelin 's 1688 map recorded a "Fort St. Croix" on the upper reaches of the river.

 Logging
The 1837 Treaty of St. Peters with the Ojibwe was signed at St. Peters (now Mendota) which ceded to the United States government a vast tract of land in what today is north central Wisconsin and central Minnesota, roughly bounded by the Prairie du Chien Line in the south, Mississippi River in the west, St. Croix and Chippewa River watersheds in the north, and a 25-mile parallel east of the Wisconsin River in the east. This opened the region to logging. The river was important to the transportation of lumber downstream, from the areas where it was being cut to the sawmills that processed it. During the 1840s, important sawmills were located at St. Croix Falls and Marine on St. Croix, but as the 1850s progressed Stillwater became the primary lumber destination. During this time the population of Stillwater boomed, several additional sawmills were opened, and the town saw an influx of capital, primarily from lumber companies based downriver in St. Louis, Missouri .

Columbus Landing 1493 St Croix
October 12, 2015
In 1493 Christopher Columbus landed on what would later become St Croix, US Virgin Islands at Salt River Bay changing the course of the island’s history and setting the stage for 7 European Flags to fly over the island. This is the only spot in the United States where Columbus actually landed and was the first violent altercation between the Old World and the New. Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve marks an area of incredible history not only for the island but for the world in general. For thousands of years, Arawak (Igneri and Taino) and Carib Indians inhabited the area now known as Salt River Bay/Columbus Landing. Archaeological research dating back to 1880 shows that the land here was a major religious and cultural area and had long-term permanent settlements. Arawak is a broad term that refers to the indigenous peoples of South America and the Caribbean who spoke a common language and had a shared culture. Taino is more commonly used for the “Island Arawaks” who stretched from the Greater Antilles up through the Lesser Antilles (where St Croix can be found) as opposed to the mainland Arawaks. These first inhabitants of the Caribbean Islands had a rich culture and history and previous excavations at Salt River revealed the only ceremonial Ball Court in the Caribbean here on St Croix, lending to its historical significance. The area was thriving with indigenous peoples cultivating manioc, soursop, papaya, guava, sapote, yellow sapote, guava, sapodilla, and avocado and fishing in the locally rich waters.

 By the 18th century, the Ojibwe and Dakota were the two primary tribes that inhabited the area, until around 1745, when the Dakota have driven out from the St. Croix Valley as a result of the Battle of Kathio. Fur trade
The first Europeans to arrive in the area were Sieur du Lhut and his men in the fall and winter of 1679–1680. For the next eighty years, the area was primarily under French influence, and the fur trade grew throughout the first half of the 18th century, with beaver pelts as the prize trade good. French trade in the upper valley was dominated by the Ojibwe and tied to Lake Superior traders, whereas in the lower valley the Dakota assisted in trading with merchants based out of St. Louis downstream. After the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, British traders entered the area and grew in numbers and influence with the help of the powerful North West Company. Logging

Fishing on the St. Croix River (Photo: ) The St. Croix River forms the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota and is one of the top fishing destinations in both states. Designated a National Scenic Riverway in 1968, the river is as popular among canoeists and kayakers as fishermen. Walleye are the most sought-after game fish in the river, and "Game & Fish Magazine" has named the river as one of the top smallmouth streams in Wisconsin as well as one of the top muskellunge fisheries in Minnesota. Upper St. Croix River
The upper St. Croix is the more scenic and secluded part of the river, offering some of the most productive smallmouth bass fishing around, with some true giants present. Walleye and sauger are also abundant, and this part of the river holds some potentially record-breaking catfish. Pike, muskellunge, bluegill, crappie and lake sturgeon round out the fishing. Smallmouth fishing peaks in early summer, and fall also offers some outstanding fishing. Spinners, crankbaits and soft plastics in crayfish-imitating colors are the baits of choice for smallies. Lower St. Croix River
The lower St. Croix River becomes increasingly wide and lake-like as it moves toward its confluence with the Mississippi River.

Asian carp found in St. Croix River - first silver carp Invasive silver carp found for the first time in St. Croix River
Invasive silver carp found for the first time in St. Croix River Silver carp are notorious for their proclivity to leap out of the water when boats approach. They’re also regarded as a major threat to native species and the state’s deep love of fishing. But St. Croix lovers shouldn’t fear the carp-pocalypse quite yet. The fish was found near the confluence of the St. Croix and the Mississippi rivers at Prescott, Wis. Silver carp already had been found farther upstream in the Mississippi,, and biologists have long suspected fish would swim unimpeded up the St. Croix and be detected sooner or later. Image courtesy Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
Bighead carp — another prominent invasive Asian carp — have been found in those waters as well. “This news is disappointing but not unexpected,” said DNR invasive fish coordinator Nick Frohnauer. “ The silver carp was captured within viewing distance of the St. Croix’s confluence with the Mississippi River. In 2014, two silver carp were found in the Mississippi only a short distance upstream from where the St. Croix and Mississippi meet.” Biologists have not yet uncovered evidence of a reproducing population of either species in the metro waters — a key distinction in their strategy to slow their invasion. “The location where the carp were captured is a well-known over-wintering area for several species of fish,” Frohnauer said in a news release. “

6 Spectacular National Park Sites in Minnesota | Explore Minnesota
 a two-mile self-guided Heritage Trail at the powerful St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis; living history demonstrations at Historic Fort Snelling; and fishing, walking, biking and taking in the view at Hastings River Flats Park. The St. Croix National Scenic Riverway encompasses some of the most scenic and least developed country in the Upper Midwest
St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
Much of the 164-mile St. Croix River forms the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, and it was one of only eight waterways originally designated as a “National Wild and Scenic River” by the federal government in 1968. It’s widely considered one of the best canoeing rivers in the nation, and also offers some of the best smallmouth bass fishing to be found, as well as great fishing for many other species. The Minnesota portion of the scenic river runs from St. Croix State Park, north of Pine City, to where the St. Croix meets the Mississippi River at Hastings. In addition to five particularly gorgeous state parks, there are numerous regional and city parks as well as primitive National Park Service campsites along the shore. The portion of the river north of Taylors Falls is particularly quiet and remote from signs of civilization, with motorboats less common than canoes. Motorboats are more common below Taylors Falls, though canoeing and kayaking are quite popular along the entire river. Just below the dam, Interstate State Park has self-guided trails along distinctive glacial potholes and dramatic cliffs overlooking the river, where rock climbing is popular as well.

 Kurravaara was the closest human village to Torne River, approximately 7 miles (12 kilometres) from the northeast of Kiruna. 3rd Cleanest Rivers In The World – St. Croix River (North America)
Third, in our list of the cleanest rivers in the world, St. Croix River is also a National Scenic Riverway under the protection of National Park Service. St. Croix River is actually a tributary of the Mississippi River, approximately 164 miles (264 kilometres) long across the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota in Northern America. It generates a hydroelectric plant that powers Minneapolis – St. Paul metropolitan area. Like any other great stories, St. Croix River has its own historical struggle to share. Way back in the 1830s, our one of the cleanest rivers in the world is not actually one of the cleanest, but the dirtiest instead. Clogged with logs and timbers, the river served more like a transport road than flowing water. It was heavily polluted as the sawmill era reached its highest peak and almost destroyed the river’s biodiversity. It was not until 1915 that the public took charge of cleaning the river and slowly brought its life back to its full potential. 2nd Cleanest Rivers In The World – The Tara River (Europe)
Flowing through the mountain floors of Balkan countries of Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina, Tara River was also known as the “Jewel of Europe”, or sometimes “Tear of Europe”.

For the first time, an invasive silver carp has been captured in the St. Croix River. The carp, one of several invasive species of so-called “Asian carp,” was caught Friday, March 10, by a commercial fishing boat, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, which announced confirmation of the catch Thursday. Silver carp are notorious for their proclivity to leap out of the water when boats approach. They’re also regarded as a major threat to native species and the state’s deep love of fishing. But St. Croix lovers shouldn’t fear the carp-pocalypse quite yet. The fish was found near the confluence of the St. Croix and the Mississippi rivers at Prescott, Wis. Silver carp already had been found farther upstream in the Mississippi,, and biologists have long suspected fish would swim unimpeded up the St. Croix and be detected sooner or later.

Bighead carp — another prominent invasive Asian carp — have been found in those waters as well.

 The alignment would also take advantage of an existing ravine on the Wisconsin bluff, thereby reducing potential impacts on the Lower St. Croix Valley. A large majority of the St. Croix River Crossing Advisory Group agreed that they could accept the Braun recommendations. Unlikely Allies Agree — the New St. Croix River Bridge Crossing is Needed
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton and U.S. Representative Michelle Bachmann both agree on building a new bridge over the federally protected St Croix River. Bachmann worked closely with Wisconsin lawmakers to introduce legislation in Congress to create an exemption from the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act that allows a new four-lane St. Croix River bridge to be built in the near future. Legislation proposed by Senators Klobuchar, Kohl, Franken, and Johnson was important milestone for Minnesota and Wisconsin in the process of addressing a transportation problem that has plagued the region for decades. Community members and state and federal agencies worked together for years to develop the best solution to the problem. These stakeholders studied dozens of alternatives and answered questions about the need for a new bridge, the project costs, and the location of the bridge before determining that the St. Croix River Crossing is the best solution to the region's transportation issues. The senators spent time reviewing the project, looking at the facts, and meeting with people on different sides of the issue. Their support for the plan is yet another validation that this is the best solution postiioned in the right location to handle these transportation needs, respect the region's history, and preserve an important natural resource. For the safety of workers and stability of equipment, boaters are required to slow down through a one-mile portion of the river near Bayport, MN.

 Protected by the National Conservation Law, the river experienced very minimum pollution throughout its record. it’s a home for countless freshwater species and was made famous as the number one spot for salmon-fishing in the country. 4th Cleanest Rivers In The World – The Torne River (Europe)
Flowing through northern Sweden and Finland, Torne River is next to our collection of cleanest rivers in the world. Half of the river forms the border of these two countries and is also proclaimed as the largest river in Norrbotten. Its nearly pure state and ultra-clean waters were mainly due to minimum human habitation. Kurravaara was the closest human village to Torne River, approximately 7 miles (12 kilometres) from the northeast of Kiruna. 3rd Cleanest Rivers In The World – St. Croix River (North America)
Third, in our list of the cleanest rivers in the world, St. Croix River is also a National Scenic Riverway under the protection of National Park Service. St. Croix River is actually a tributary of the Mississippi River, approximately 164 miles (264 kilometres) long across the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota in Northern America. It generates a hydroelectric plant that powers Minneapolis – St. Paul metropolitan area. Like any other great stories, St. Croix River has its own historical struggle to share.

📍Location: St. Croix River Wild River State Park, Minnesota
The St. Croix River, located near Stillwater, provides fly anglers a solid chance at musky and bass on the fly. This extensive river is best fished from a drift boat, but shore fishing is possible. The uninhibited banks allow for beginners to try their hand at casting a fly. If you’re just starting out, bring your best beginner fly rod and give it a go. Minnow and crayfish patterns are your best bet when it comes to choosing flies. Also, be sure to use an 8-weight rod when fishing the St. Croix. The St. Croix can be an intimidating body of water to fish. Learning to fish large bodies of water, however, takes time.

Where does the phosphorus come from?
Phosphorus doesn't stay put
Phosphorus comes from many places
Changes in land use create changes in phosphorus
 And when the soil washes away, it carries phosphorus with it. The St. Croix River, especially Lake St. Croix, collects water from the entire basin, concentrating the phosphorus in one place. Phosphorus comes from many places
You might think that the biggest sources of phosphorus are the obvious ones—sewage treatment plants, chemical factories, and the like. But in fact, identifiable sources such as these contribute less than 20% of the phosphorus in the river. The rest comes from a wide array of diffuse sources. Every lawn, every farm, every golf course that uses phosphorus contributes a little bit. But add all those little bits together, and they account for 80% of the problem. Learn more about how excess nutrients in the water cause problems in the Gulf of Mexico's "Dead Zone". Changes in land use create changes in phosphorus
Since 1940, the amount of phosphorus in the St. Croix has risen dramatically. This coincides with two major changes in the way we use the land:

St. Croix River
The Minnesota River
The Mississippi River
Minnesota Lakes
 While all three of the state record fish were caught in the murky rivers of Minnesota, lakes are excellent locations for finding schools and catching your limit for a tasty fish fry. All three of the catfish are considered bottom feeders but can be hooked on a variety of live baits and lures. St. Croix River
The St. Croix River creates the eastern border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, from the middle of the state to where it runs in to the Mississippi just south of Minneapolis/St. Paul. The water of the river is murky brown and it is home to a variety of fish, including sturgeon, muskie, northern pike and catfish. The state record for flathead catfish was caught in the St. Croix in 1970, a whopping 70-pound monster. On the St. Croix, 20-pound flatheads are not uncommon, with the best territory being by the bridges that span the river near the town of Stillwater. Public access to the river can also be sought in Afton, Lakeland, St. Croix Falls and Taylors Falls, among others. The Minnesota River
The Minnesota River meanders across the southern part of the state, starting at Ortonville to the extreme west and ending just south of the city of Mankato in the southern middle of the state. The Minnesota state record for blue catfish was caught in the Minnesota River in 2002 and weighed just over 58 pounds.

The water of the river is murky brown and it is home to a variety of fish, including sturgeon, muskie, northern pike and catfish. The state record for flathead catfish was caught in the St. Croix in 1970, a whopping 70-pound monster. On the St. Croix, 20-pound flatheads are not uncommon, with the best territory being by the bridges that span the river near the town of Stillwater. Public access to the river can also be sought in Afton, Lakeland, St. Croix Falls and Taylors Falls, among others. The Minnesota River
The Minnesota River meanders across the southern part of the state, starting at Ortonville to the extreme west and ending just south of the city of Mankato in the southern middle of the state. The Minnesota state record for blue catfish was caught in the Minnesota River in 2002 and weighed just over 58 pounds.

Asian carp found in St. Croix River - first silver carp Invasive silver carp found for the first time in St. Croix River
Invasive silver carp found for the first time in St. Croix River “This news is disappointing but not unexpected,” said DNR invasive fish coordinator Nick Frohnauer. “ The silver carp was captured within viewing distance of the St. Croix’s confluence with the Mississippi River. In 2014, two silver carp were found in the Mississippi only a short distance upstream from where the St. Croix and Mississippi meet.” Biologists have not yet uncovered evidence of a reproducing population of either species in the metro waters — a key distinction in their strategy to slow their invasion. “The location where the carp were captured is a well-known over-wintering area for several species of fish,” Frohnauer said in a news release. “ At this time, it is hard to predict if these individuals would have moved (farther) upstream the St. Croix River, or back into the Mississippi River when water temperatures warm up in the spring.” The silver carp caught on the St. Croix measured 33 inches long and weighed 13 pounds. One bighead carp was also caught by the commercial angler, who was working with a DNR fisheries biologist, the DNR said. Once the ice clears, DNR workers and commercial anglers plan to survey for additional invasive carp near Prescott. The DNR will also sample at the Allen S. King Power Plant near Bayport, where bighead carp have been caught in the past.

St. Croix River Crossing | New Bridge Near Stillwater, MN | Related Links
 Braun was asked to review the need for a replacement crossing and to investigate potential bridge alignment alternatives. In addition, he was asked to recommend an alignment and type of bridge structure that would be both feasible to construct and acceptable for implementation by the key interested parties. Between June and September of 1998, Braun conducted extensive discussions and meetings with many individuals and organizations, and facilitated public meetings with a 21-member advisory group (the St. Croix River Crossing Advisory Group) that included representatives from federal and state regulatory agencies, local and regional units of government, environmental groups, historic preservation groups, and chambers of commerce. Braun recommended a four-lane, deck-tied, steel arch bridge on an alignment 1,100 meters (3,600 feet) south of the existing Stillwater Lift Bridge. The proposed bridge would cross the river perpendicularly and would be shorter than the 1995 Final EIS Preferred Alternative. The alignment would also take advantage of an existing ravine on the Wisconsin bluff, thereby reducing potential impacts on the Lower St. Croix Valley. A large majority of the St. Croix River Crossing Advisory Group agreed that they could accept the Braun recommendations. Unlikely Allies Agree — the New St. Croix River Bridge Crossing is Needed
Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton and U.S. Representative Michelle Bachmann both agree on building a new bridge over the federally protected St Croix River. Bachmann worked closely with Wisconsin lawmakers to introduce legislation in Congress to create an exemption from the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act that allows a new four-lane St. Croix River bridge to be built in the near future. Legislation proposed by Senators Klobuchar, Kohl, Franken, and Johnson was important milestone for Minnesota and Wisconsin in the process of addressing a transportation problem that has plagued the region for decades.

Since leaving their native range in the Ohio River Basin (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee), the rusty crayfish has been recorded in 20 other states, mostly to the north and east. The highest concentration of invasive rusties is in Wisconsin, where they have been recorded in 860 water bodies by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. At the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, their presence has been verified in the St. Croix River, although their populations appear to have remained largely south of where the Namekagon River meets the St. Croix. How do we stop them? It is unusually difficult to remove a population of rusty crayfish once it has become established. Chemicals are unusable because they affect native crayfish. There have, however, been scattered success stories where trapping and the encouragement of native predators (bass and sunfish) have been able to eradicate loosely-established infestations. Rusties can be trapped and boiled for food, as Wisconsin DNR law NR 40considers eating a legal form of disposal so long as the trapper has a fishing or scientific collector's license. Prevention, ultimately, is the best method of control. At the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, the use of live crayfish as bait is prohibited.

 The 280-mile route essentially proceeds north along one side of the river, which forms much of the Minnesota–Wisconsin border, and returns south on the other side. If you’re starting in the Twin Cities, begin at Afton. Follow the state’s official designated St. Croix Scenic Byway north as far as Banning State Park near Sandstone. Then cross over to Wisconsin and wend your way south to Grantsburg—farther south than Sandstone and Banning State Park, according to your preference, on a combination of rural highways and back roads. The river is one reason I like this route as much as I do. The St. Croix is special—relatively clear, swift, wooded. It is one of the nation’s original wild and scenic rivers, and the only one to flow through Minnesota. But I also love the towns. Built along the river, where riverboats first disgorged settlers, they are solid, well organized, and pretty in a way that newer towns can’t quite match.

Sometimes compared to Minnesota's Boundary Waters — on a much smaller scale, of course — the 37,000-acre Turtle-Flambeau delivers a wild and remote paddle and camping experience. Free, first-come, first-served rustic campsites are scattered on the shoreline and islands throughout. The eastern fifth of the flowage is a voluntary quiet area, with more slow-boating fishermen and paddlers than the busier western side that sees more powerboats. Launch from Murray's Landing off Highway 51 near Manitowish for a trip on the quiet side. Willow Flowage
Of the 73 miles of shoreline in this 30,000-acre scenic waters area in Oneida County, 95 percent is undeveloped. More than 30 rustic campsites are scattered throughout, available free on a first-come, first-served basis. St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
The St. Croix and Namekagon rivers, both Wild and Scenic Rivers, make up the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and provide more than 200 miles of water for paddling. Dozens of primitive campsites dot the rivers' banks, offering a chance for a multi-day paddling trip. The stretch from the Highway 70 landing in Grantsburg to the dam at St. Croix Falls is one of the most popular, and powerboats will even putter upriver in the slower and wider river impoundment north of the dam. For a quieter experience, head north or east along the Namekagon.

Of the 73 miles of shoreline in this 30,000-acre scenic waters area in Oneida County, 95 percent is undeveloped. More than 30 rustic campsites are scattered throughout, available free on a first-come, first-served basis. St. Croix National Scenic Riverway
The St. Croix and Namekagon rivers, both Wild and Scenic Rivers, make up the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and provide more than 200 miles of water for paddling. Dozens of primitive campsites dot the rivers' banks, offering a chance for a multi-day paddling trip. The stretch from the Highway 70 landing in Grantsburg to the dam at St. Croix Falls is one of the most popular, and powerboats will even putter upriver in the slower and wider river impoundment north of the dam. For a quieter experience, head north or east along the Namekagon.

The Manoominikeshiinyag were one of the three major Bands forming the Biitan-akiing-enabijig (Border Sitters), named because of their proximity to the Eastern Dakota peoples. In turn, the Biitan-akiing-enabijig were a sub-Nation of the Gichigamiwininiwag (Lake Superior Men) . The St. Croix Band arrived in the area nearly 600 years ago; according to their oral tradition, they were directed to move southward from Lake Superior to "the place where there is food upon the waters." In colonizing the St. Croix River valley and its tributaries, the St. Croix Band entered into a fierce territorial dispute with the Eastern Dakota and the Fox. Eight other Native American Tribes were also located in the St. Croix River Valley. To this day in the Ojibwe language, the headwaters of the St. Croix River is called "Manoominikeshiinyag-ziibi" (Ricing Rail River), the St. Croix River below the confluence of the Namekegon River as "Gichi-ziibi" (Big River) and below the confluence of Trade River as "Jiibayaatigo-ziibi" (Grave-marker River). The name "St. Croix River" was based on the "Jiibayaatigo-ziibi" name of the river.

Father Of 5 Stabbed, Killed In St. Croix River Fishing Dispute
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Wisconsin man was stabbed to death after he and his fishing buddy got into an argument with another group. The Polk County Sheriff’s office is asking for the public’s help in finding the killer. The victim is 34-year-old Peter Kelly of St. Croix Falls, Wis. He was a well-known youth wrestling coach in the community and the father of five young children. READ MORE: ' Joy In The Face Of Tragedy': Celebrations Of George Floyd's Life Held Across Minneapolis
Deputies say Kelly and a friend were fishing on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River last night when they got into a verbal fight with three men on the Wisconsin side. The Polk County Sheriff’s office said this was a situation that went on for about three hours. It started around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, when Kelly and his friend observed a group of young men fishing across the river being loud and rude. By 9:45 p.m., their efforts to get them to quiet down had turned into a face-to-face confrontation at Interstate Park in St. Croix Falls. That’s where the fatal stabbing took place.

The name "St. Croix River" was based on the "Jiibayaatigo-ziibi" name of the river. St. Croix Band was originally divided into the following sub-bands: Apple River Band
Clam River Band
Kettle River Band
Knife River Band
Rice River Band
Rush River Band
Snake River Band
Sunrise River Band
Tamarack River Band
Totogatic River Band
Wolf River Band
Wood River Band
Yellow River Band
Due to the inter-relationship and marriages with the Eastern Dakota peoples, the Knife, Rice, Rush, Snake, Sunrise and Apple River bands were considered equally Dakota as Ojibwe. Consequently, citizens from these Bands may have had Dakota names, many were of the Ma'iingan (Wolf) Doodem, and some Chiefs, such as Shak'pi, signed treaties both as Ojibwe and as Dakota. Division
The St. Croix Band are signatories to the Treaty of St. Peters (1837), also known as the "White Pine Treat," which ceded lands so that lumbermen could harvest the great number of White pine growing along the St. Croix River watershed. This treaty assured the signatory Tribes of the right to continue to enjoy traditional hunting, fishing and gathering practices in the territory.

Minnesota State Boundaries
Creator:
 They insisted that this was the only possible demarcation. Wisconsin, they said, had to include all of the remaining land in the old Northwest Territory. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 had stated that no more than five states should be formed out of the territory. Congress, however, proposed to limit Wisconsin to its present western boundary. The line follows a straight course due south from a specified point on the St. Louis River to the St. Croix River. It then runs along the center of the St. Croix and the Mississippi. Delegates at Wisconsin's constitutional conventions contested this boundary. Generally, the people who lived in the St. Paul–Stillwater area did not want to belong to the state of Wisconsin. They preferred a new state to the northwest of Wisconsin. As a result, they tried to get Wisconsin's northwest boundary placed well east of the St. Croix.

Welcome to St Croix US Virgin Islands! St Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands at 82 square miles in area. There are two distinct towns to visit on the island; Christiansted and Frederiksted.

5 Best Fishing Spots in Minnesota for 2018 5 Best Fishing Spots in Minnesota for 2018
5 Best Fishing Spots in Minnesota for 2018
MN is the Land of 10,000 Lakes and one of our nation’s best fishing destinations
1. Lake Mille Lacs
2. Leech Lake
3. St Croix River
4. The North Shore of Lake Superior
5. Bluff Country
 This is another great spot year-round. 3. St Croix River
Usually when we think of Minnesota fishing, we think of lakes, and rightfully so. However, river fishing can be just as (if not more) fun. The St. Croix has a huge variety of species, including Walleye, Bass, Panfish, and some gigantic Catfish, Sturgeon and Muskie. River fishing is different than lake fishing due to various currents found in the river. You may want to ask a local guide about finding the best spots, but the St. Croix is definitely an underrated Minnesota fishing destination. You can also check us out at the St. Croix River Resort, only 90 minutes from the Twin Cities and only a mile from the St. Croix River. 4. The North Shore of Lake Superior
Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world, and obviously offers some awesome fishing.

Samuel de Champlain
Who wrote the document and why? Les Voyages Du Sieur Champlain was written by Samuel de Champlain in the early 1600’s. Champlain would have written the document to help keep track of what was going on in the colony and to document it. Most of what Champlain wrote about was the various troubles they had and how they survived, along with the journeys him and his men embarked on. Where was this colony located? The colony was located at St. Croix Island, which is located at the mouth of the St. Croix River. It sits on the Canadian – American Border between New Brunswick and Maine. It has been designated a national historic site by the government of Canada and an International Historic Site by the United States Government. Its known as Dochet Island to local inhabitants, although no one currently lives on the island
St. Croix Island is located on the Saint Croix river which is the border between Maine and New Brunswick
Who were the settlers who tried to colonize this place? Samuel de Champlain, along with 79 other French explorers who attempted to establish a colony on St. Croix island, but failed.

How To Pronounce LaCroix The Right Away How To Pronounce "LaCroix"
How To Pronounce "LaCroix"
Is it LaCroix? Or LaCrotch?
Katherine Baker
Literally, No One Knows How
The Right Way to Pronounce "LaCroix"
 Oh right, duh. While the name may seem to come from a strictly French background, that's only partly true. The "La" part comes from La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the "Croix" part comes from the St. Croix river (the one between Wisconsin and Minnesota), where the drink was originally made. Of course, the St. Croix river was named by the French in the late 1600s during the French and Indian Wars. The confusion around it make sense, however. Americans seem to have to have a knack for butchering French words (just look at the word "caramel.") But no matter how you say it, LaCroix is certainly the beverage of our time. Cheers to fun and fizzy water, however you pronounce its name. SHARE

 Follow rural highways through Rush City, Pine City, and Sandstone. Save time for Banning State Park (320-245-2668). Have a picnic on the sandstone outcrops flanking the spectacular rapids of the Kettle River. And hike the trail to an abandoned quarry. Backtrack southward to Hinckley, turn east on Highway 48, cross the St. Croix, and follow a route southward down the Wisconsin side of the river. Crex Meadows Wildlife Area (715-463-2739), a 30,000-acre state wildlife-management area just north of Grantsburg, provides some of the best wildlife viewing in the region on a 24-mile drive. At St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin’s much larger counterpart to Taylors Falls, is the headquarters of the St. Croix National Scenic River (715-483-2274). The facility has exhibits about the St. Croix and Namekagon rivers and their watersheds. Farther south on Highway 35, in Osceola, you can catch the Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway (715-755-3570) for an hour-and-a-half, 20-mile round trip to Marine on St. Croix and back.

Venture outside the city and take a drive in the countryside. There are many places to visit, especially in the St. Croix Valley and Bluff Country, with gorgeous river views, stunning cliffs, and autumn color. This 52-mile stretch from Taylors Falls to the confluence of the St. Croix River with the Mississippi River at Hastings offers much to see. Hastings is a quaint community on the bluffs known for its Victorian architecture, especially along the historic downtown streets. Visit the LeDuc Historic Estate, a Gothic Revival mansion open for tours through the end of October each year, which is especially picturesque with the backdrop of the autumn trees. Stillwater is another fun place to stop. The largest city on the St. Croix, it's also one of Minnesota’s oldest towns and has historic architecture where you'll find antique shops, galleries, indie book stores, and local small restaurants. It's a place where you can rent a bike and enjoy the scenery, including biking a five-mile loop trail connecting the Minnesota and Wisconsin sides of the St. Croix River. 04 of 05

 Where else can I get information about Zebra Mussels? https://nas.er.usgs.gov/taxgroup/mollusks/zebramussel /
This website also provides information on quagga mussels. Quagga mussels are very similar to zebra mussels and have been found in the Mississippi River adding an additional threat to the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers. http://www.seagrant.umn.edu/ais/zebramussels_threaten This site also provides information on other exotic species like rusty crayfish and sea lampreys. Zebra Mussel Activities Reports
Provide information related to zebra mussel monitoring within the St. Croix River Watershed. They d ocument what has been done to prevent the spread of zebra mussels and current status within the Riverway. Activities include those primarily funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and may include native mussel work on the river. The St. Croix River long-term zebra mussel density study, conducted at eight locations from Stillwater to Prescott, is contained in these reports. 2013 Zebra Mussel Activities Report (960 KB)

Where does the phosphorus come from? | Science Buzz Where does the phosphorus come from?
Where does the phosphorus come from?
Phosphorus doesn't stay put
Phosphorus comes from many places
Changes in land use create changes in phosphorus
 We put it on grass to make it grow. We put it on golf courses to keep them green. It occurs naturally in sewage. But the phosphorus doesn't stay where we put it. It clings to the soil. And when the soil washes away, it carries phosphorus with it. The St. Croix River, especially Lake St. Croix, collects water from the entire basin, concentrating the phosphorus in one place. Phosphorus comes from many places
You might think that the biggest sources of phosphorus are the obvious ones—sewage treatment plants, chemical factories, and the like. But in fact, identifiable sources such as these contribute less than 20% of the phosphorus in the river. The rest comes from a wide array of diffuse sources.

Rusty crayfish are opportunistic, and feed on both plant and animal matter. Their tendency to clip down and eat massive amounts of vegetation when they enter a water system can cause dramatic shifts in the local food webs. The lack of plants after a rusty invasion can cause fish to lose nesting substrate, rob shelter from small fish and invertebrates, and increase erosion of sediment. This might ultimately come to affect anglers as popular gamefish respond to the change in ecology. Where are they now? Since leaving their native range in the Ohio River Basin (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee), the rusty crayfish has been recorded in 20 other states, mostly to the north and east. The highest concentration of invasive rusties is in Wisconsin, where they have been recorded in 860 water bodies by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. At the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, their presence has been verified in the St. Croix River, although their populations appear to have remained largely south of where the Namekagon River meets the St. Croix. How do we stop them? It is unusually difficult to remove a population of rusty crayfish once it has become established.

By 1902, the Rice Lake Band of Mississippi Chippewa that had removed to the White Earth Indian Reservation returned to east-central Minnesota. They settled on the south side of Sandy Lake, just north of McGregor. A small group of Rice River Band of St. Croix Band who returned with them established the Minisinaakwaang Village at East Lake, located south of McGregor. In 1934, under the Indian Reorganization Act, St. Croix Band in Wisconsin reorganized under a written constitution and regained federal recognition, as the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin. The Minisinaakwaang Village, Lake Lena Village, Kettle River and Snake River communities of the St. Croix Band in Minnesota became part of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe when the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe was established. Today, the St. Croix Band communities in Minnesota form the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation District III, located primarily in Pine County. The Minisinaakwaang Village serves as the government center for the Mille Lacs Indian Reservation District II. See also

 Lake Duluth extended a few miles farther east than the Keweenaw Peninsula, to the border of the Huron Mountains, east of Keweenaw Bay. In the early part of the recession of the ice front Lake Duluth, with an outlet from the Brule River Valley through the St. Croix River Valley, was present in the western part of the Lake Superior Basin. A little later the ice border retreated sufficiently to allow the small independent lakes to become a part of Lake Duluth or to be drained by the lowering of the water level, for in general the water level was lowered as these lakes merged with Lake Duluth
Lake St. Louis was one of the bordering lakes present when the Superior ice lobe was at its full extent. It stood in the part of the St. Louis River drainage basin northwest of the border of the Superior lobe. Lake Nemadji was an outlet channel leading west from the west end of the Lake Superior Basin to Moose Lake, where it joined the outlet of Lake St. Louis. Lake Brule was a small lake in the Brule River basin south of the copper range. It has its outlet to the St. Croix Valley. This was before Lake Duluth gained the St. Croix as its outlet. Lake Ashland occupied several townships in northwestern Ashland County, Wisconsin. It extended west in Bayfield County to the east slope of the Bayfield Peninsula.

According to the LaCroix website, it is pronounced "la-croy." "Consumers are reminded of the correct pronunciation when asked to 'enjoy LaCroix' with every sip they take," the site says. Oh right, duh. While the name may seem to come from a strictly French background, that's only partly true. The "La" part comes from La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the "Croix" part comes from the St. Croix river (the one between Wisconsin and Minnesota), where the drink was originally made. Of course, the St. Croix river was named by the French in the late 1600s during the French and Indian Wars. The confusion around it make sense, however.

In Interstate State Park, the Pothole Trail illustrates the power of fast-moving glacial water. It’s lined by cylindrical potholes, drilled into solid rock by whirlpools laced with gravel. They’re even bigger across the river in Minnesota’s Interstate State Park. Standing at the bottom of the 35-foot-deep Bake Oven, touching walls as smooth as vinyl, it’s easy to imagine the scene 12,000 years ago, when sheets of water from the melting Wisconsin Glacier roared past , creating what now is the St. Croix River Valley. Named Dalles of the St. Croix — dalle is French for rocky slab — this gorge is a first cousin of the Wisconsin Dells, which were created in a week by a nearly apocalyptic rush of glacial meltwater.

 They removed the hostile bands to the vicinity surrounding the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, then to a more distant location, now known as the White Earth Indian Reservation. ( Both of these bands became members of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.) Meanwhile, as the portion of the St. Croix Band that remained in the St. Croix river valley were not based on any reservation, most received no allotments and little in the way of educational or health services from the US Federal government. People in northern Wisconsin began to refer to the St. Croix Band as "the lost tribe". Unlike neighboring Tribes existing on resources available on their respective Reservations, the St. Croix Band adapted to the rise of the logging industry by utilizing it as a source of wage labor.

A small group of Rice River Band of St. Croix Band who returned with them established the Minisinaakwaang Village at East Lake, located south of McGregor. In 1934, under the Indian Reorganization Act, St. Croix Band in Wisconsin reorganized under a written constitution and regained federal recognition, as the St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin.

This national park (and World Heritage Site) in Old San Juan preserves the remarkable fortifications built by the Spanish to protect their prized Puerto Rico port from attack by the British, French and other Caribbean rivals. The park includes the most iconic buildings in this ancient walled city (including the walls themselves), such as the Castillo San Felipe del Morro ("El Morro"), Castillo San Cristobal, the San Juan Gate and, across San Juan Bay, the Fort San Juan de la Cruz. 04 of 08
Christiansted National Historic Site, St. Croix
National Park Service
There are few places left where you can legitimately feel like you've stepped back in the past a few centuries, but this historic park in the capital of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, is one. Preserving a cluster of 18th- and 19th-century buildings on the Christiansted waterfront, the park speaks to a time where this was a key Danish trading post in the Caribbean. The park includes five key structures: Fort Christiansvaern (1738), the Danish West India & Guinea Company Warehouse (1749), the Steeple Building (1753), the Danish Custom House (1844), and the Scale House (1856). Continue to 5 of 8 below. 05 of 08
Buck Island Reef National Monument, St. Croix, U.S.V.I.
National Park Service
Just offshore of St. Croix is one of the Caribbean's best protected and healthiest coral reefs, which visitors can explore via snorkel tours that also include a stop on Buck Island itself for some beach time, picnicking, and perhaps a hike to the peak for a panoramic view of St. Croix and the Caribbean Sea. 06 of 08
Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve, St. Croix
NOAA
Infrequently visited and only marginally accessible, the Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve on St. Croix includes the remains of the oldest European fort in North America and the spot where Christopher Columbus had one of his many fatal encounters with local native tribes. The best way to visit Salt River Bay is via a kayak tour, which can be arranged with local outfitters.

 The most spectacular and varied hiking is around Devil’s Lake State Park, just south of the Wisconsin Dells. The best forest hiking and longest developed stretch is around Timm’s Hill and in Taylor County, north of Medford in north-central Wisconsin. The best short hikes are in the Dalles of the St Croix, where there’s an Interstate State Park both in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The spots below are listed from west to east. The best maps are in the Ice Age Trail Atlas, $35, and Companion Guide, $20. You can also use the map on the Ice Age Trail Alliance site (just keep clicking to zoom in). Interstate State Park, St. Croix Falls
The clifftop Pothole Trail in this park along the St. Croix River is the best place to watch the abundant action: climbers on the basalt cliff face, sightseers across the river on Angle Rock, where the river takes a hard right; and paddlewheelers, which have been taking tourists to see the formations since 1904. There’s the craggy Old Man of the Dalles, the Elephant’s Head, the Turk with a turban and the Holy Cross, for which French fur-traders named the river.

 Sources vary on the origin of the name; the St. Croix River may have been named after Monsieur St. Croix, an explorer who drowned at the mouth of the river late in the seventeenth century. Another account credits Father Hennepin with giving this region the French name Ste Croix (Holy Cross) because of the burial markers located at the mouth of the river. La Pointe County (now extinct, see Bayfield County) was created from the northern portions of Wisconsin Territory's St. Croix County on February 19, 1845. When Wisconsin was admitted into the union as a state on May 29, 1848, the territorial St. Croix County was further divided, with the territory from the Mississippi River to the current border of Minnesota continuing as de facto Wisconsin Territory until on March 3, 1849, it and unorganized federal territory lying north of Iowa were used in the creation of the Minnesota Territory. Itasca, Washington, Ramsey and Benton Counties were created by the Minnesota Territory on October 27, 1849 from the de facto Wisconsin Territory that had been separated from the Wisconsin Territory's La Pointe County. The part of St. Croix County allocated to Wisconsin became the parental county to Pierce and Polk Counties, and formed significant portions of Dunn, Barron, Washburn and Burnett Counties. On June 12, 1899, a deadly F5 tornado struck New Richmond. The tornado's damage path was 400 yards (370 m) wide and 46 miles (74 km) long. The tornado formed on the banks of the St. Croix River, south of Hudson.

 The description thus was a reflection of ignorance of the actual geography of the region. This is a key point because it came to bear on the intentions of both sides in setting their border in 1783. The green line in the map above is the line beginning at a river which the US originally claimed to be the St. Croix, but which a joint commission determined was actually called the Magaguadavik. The commission decided that the name St. Croix belonged to a river further west, which still bears the name. This resulted in the eastern border--that is, the St. Croix River to its source, and then a line due north from that source--being where it currently lies. The U.S. accepted this in the "Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation"--also known as "Jay's Treaty "--signed on November 1, 1794 and negotiated on the U.S. side by John Jay. This was a time when the United States was seeking to improve relations with England. Detail of John Purdy's 1814 "A Map Of Cabotia..." which illustrates the line of British claim.

History
St. Croix County of 1840 and today
St. Croix County was created on August 3, 1840 by the legislature of the Wisconsin Territory. It was named after the river on its western border. Sources vary on the origin of the name; the St. Croix River may have been named after Monsieur St. Croix, an explorer who drowned at the mouth of the river late in the seventeenth century. Another account credits Father Hennepin with giving this region the French name Ste Croix (Holy Cross) because of the burial markers located at the mouth of the river. La Pointe County (now extinct, see Bayfield County) was created from the northern portions of Wisconsin Territory's St. Croix County on February 19, 1845. When Wisconsin was admitted into the union as a state on May 29, 1848, the territorial St. Croix County was further divided, with the territory from the Mississippi River to the current border of Minnesota continuing as de facto Wisconsin Territory until on March 3, 1849, it and unorganized federal territory lying north of Iowa were used in the creation of the Minnesota Territory.

 St. Croix Band was originally divided into the following sub-bands: Apple River Band
Clam River Band
Kettle River Band
Knife River Band
Rice River Band
Rush River Band
Snake River Band
Sunrise River Band
Tamarack River Band
Totogatic River Band
Wolf River Band
Wood River Band
Yellow River Band
Due to the inter-relationship and marriages with the Eastern Dakota peoples, the Knife, Rice, Rush, Snake, Sunrise and Apple River bands were considered equally Dakota as Ojibwe. Consequently, citizens from these Bands may have had Dakota names, many were of the Ma'iingan (Wolf) Doodem, and some Chiefs, such as Shak'pi, signed treaties both as Ojibwe and as Dakota. Division
The St. Croix Band are signatories to the Treaty of St. Peters (1837), also known as the "White Pine Treat," which ceded lands so that lumbermen could harvest the great number of White pine growing along the St. Croix River watershed. This treaty assured the signatory Tribes of the right to continue to enjoy traditional hunting, fishing and gathering practices in the territory. After the Sandy Lake Tragedy in the autumn and winter of 1850, the St. Croix Band and other Ojibwe bands, with public support and outcry throughout the United States, were spared from the Indian removal policy. The St. Croix and other bands entered treaty negotiations with the US to establish a reservation for each of the Ojibwe bands. Confident that the Tribe could maintain exercising their hunting, fishing and gathering rights in the area ceded to the United States in 1837, the St. Croix Band did not agree to relocating to a reservation. In 1854, the St. Croix Band were omitted from the Treaty of La Pointe and lost their federal recognition. No longer with recognized status, the St. Croix Band was prohibited from exercising its hunting rights that had been protected under the Treaty of St. Peters.

 These four are considered Hudson's original inhabitants. Massey and Bouchea settled at the mouth of the Willow River, near the present-day First and St. Croix Streets. They had been part of the group who lived for some time along the river below Fort Snelling, which appears on some old maps as "Massey's Landing". The 1840s saw a few settlers making their appearance here — Captain John Page, the Nobles brothers, Dr. Philip Aldrich, Ammah Andrews, Moses Perrin, Colonel James Hughes, Daniel Anderson, and others. Hudson was originally called Willow River. It was later named Buena Vista by Judge Joel Foster, founder of River Falls, after returning from the Mexican War where he fought in the Battle of Buena Vista. In 1852, Alfred D. Gray, Hudson's first mayor, petitioned to change the name of the city to "Hudson", because the bluffs along the St. Croix River reminded him of the Hudson River in his native New York . A large number of settlers arrived in the 1850s and 1860s, many of whom were ancestors of today's residents. The lumber industry was the prime attraction of the area, and over time sawmills were established throughout the St. Croix Valley. The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway was formed in 1881 from other railroads building between the Twin Cities and Chicago.

Read the full disclosure policy here. The main islands of the US Virgin Islands are St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas. I’m here to dish out where to eat and drink in St. Croix, the largest of the three USVI islands. It was my first time visiting the US Virgin Islands in February 2020 where I spent a 4 day trip in Saint Croix (STX for short), exploring this tranquil tropical destination located in the Caribbean Sea and, of course, checking out the St. Croix food scene! On the same latitude of Hawaii, St. Croix is about 40 miles south of St. Thomas and St. John, 1700 miles south of New York, and 1100 miles south east of Miami. Did you know? Referred to as the “Big Island,” Saint Croix is an 84 square mile island that’s 22.7 miles long and 8 miles at its widest point. Buck Island View from Point Udall
Good vibes.
