About this Event
The geologic story of the St. Croix River is rich with history and one of the best ways to see for yourself is from the seat of a kayak. Join us as we paddle along this stretch of geologic importance where we’ll witness the iconic Dalles of the St. Croix and learn how water and stone have come together to create this natural beauty.
