Hiking Club Trail Description

The River Bluff Trail, beginning at the historicSt. Croix Lodge, is the first leg of your journey. Travel along the St. Croix River, a National Scenic Riverway, and see the restored pine barrens and oak savanna, where trees, prairie grasses and beautiful wildflowers now flourish. As you reach the Yellowbanks site, you can retrace the footsteps of the many people who have used the site throughout history: Ojibwe families, loggers, settlers and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers. Explore the historic ruins of the CCC camp on the self-guided walking loop to discover the lives of the men that lived here in the 1930s. Return along the paved bicycle trail, keeping watch for white-tailed deer, black bear and other wildlife common to the park.
