The St. Croix River begins its scenic journey as a major tributary of the Mississppi River As it meets up with the mighty waterway just to the southeast of St. Paul, Minnesota. Upper St. Croix Lake at about 850 acres, which borders Solon Springs, and the 1,900 acre St. Croix Flowage - closer to Gordon - provide plenty of recreational pleasures and waterfront real estate along the river's path. Whether you are looking for remote canoeing, great fishing, water-skiing, incredible snowmobiling, or nearly any type of water-related recreation, you will find it in this portion of Southern Douglas County and Northern Washburn County. And with other rivers such as the Namekagon, Tatogatic, and the Eau Claire River also winding through the area, it is a paradise for those who love canoeing or kayaking in quiet surroundings
