After experiencing the natural beauty and learning about the cultural history of St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, many people are drawn to find ways to learn more about what they have seen or get involved in supporting the park. 

Stop by one of the two Visitor Centers in the Park to browse the books and merchandise that will help you learn more about the natural and cultural heritage of the area.  Buy a souvenir to remember your trip to the Riverway.  Profits from the bookstore help benefit the park.  Learn more about the Bookstore by clicking on the link.

Check into our Volunteer In Park program to put your skills to work directly in the Park. Did you know that during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, over 659 people and groups volunteered 8,008 hours to park operations and programs in St. Croix National Scenic Riverway? There are a wide array of volunteer jobs that range from a few hours to a regular commitment.

Did You Know?
Before the invention of refrigerators, people harvested ice from rivers and lakes in the winter and stored the ice, covered in sawdust, in buildings. An ice house, storing ice from the river, once stood near the site of the park headquarters for St. Croix NSR, in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin.
