St. Croix River, Head of Rapids Public Water Access Site
Head of Rapids is a gravel boat launch located within St. Croix State Park where the Kettle River slough meets the St. Croix River, offering vault toilets and drinking water.
This quiet landing is ideal for paddlers seeking a natural setting, though water levels in the slough can be challenging during late summer, and small rapids may be encountered between this landing and Highway 70 bridge when the St. Croix River is high.
