St. Croix State Park, State park in Pine County, United States
The park encompasses 33,895 acres of land along 21 miles of the St. Croix River and includes the final 7 miles of the Kettle River.
In 1934, the federal government created this Recreational Demonstration Area through the New Deal program, providing jobs and outdoor spaces near urban centers.
The park contains 164 structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration, forming Minnesota's largest collection of New Deal buildings.
The extensive trail network includes 127 miles for hiking, 75 miles for horseback riding, and 21 miles for mountain biking across diverse terrain.
A 134-step fire tower allows visitors to observe multiple forest habitat layers through interpretive signs explaining the surrounding landscape features.
