•The forest is located in Pine County along the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. St.Croix State Forest can be accessed from different locations. Refer to the Minnesota state highway map for directions.
•St.Croix State Forest serves as a great access point to the St. Croix State Canoe Route, a nationally designated Wild and Scenic River.
•St.Croix State Forest features the wild and picturesque Tamarack River, a narrow, twisting river that slowly makes its way south to join the much larger St.Croix River. Although often shallow, the Tamarack changes character following a heavy rain and becomes fast, deep, and dangerous.
•Camping opportunities include the Boulder Campground and Day-Use Area, which features 20 drive-in sites, and the Tamarack Horse Campground and Day-Use Area, which features 55 horse sites.
•Hikers, bikers, and OHV riders can access the Willard Munger State Trail, Gandy Dancer Trail and St.Croix State Forest OHV trails.
