St. Croix Boom Site State Wayside

St. Croix Boom Site State Wayside commemorates the logging industry beside the St. Croix River north of Stillwater. Its marker and riverside landscape connect a short outdoor stop with the former site where floating timber was sorted and assembled for downstream transport.

Use designated wayside access and check current posted restrictions before approaching the river. The photograph shows the historical marker rather than surviving industrial machinery or an operating timber boom. This listing identifies the wayside, distinct from nearby boat-landing facilities. Respect the historic feature, avoid unstable bank areas and confirm any separate arrangements needed for a water-based outing.
