Kinnickinnic River Access

Kinnickinnic River Access in St. Croix County provides multiple public access points for paddling and fishing along this scenic 22-mile river, with 14 parking lots distributed throughout the fishery area to accommodate visitors.

Key access points include Glen Park in River Falls (with a 900-foot descent to the water below the dam), the Swinging Gate Public Fishing Access north of River Falls off STH 65, and County Road F near Kinnickinnic State Park, though access on the lower river is limited and primarily concentrated at these three main locations.

The river features Class I-II rapids and swift current in the upper sections, transitioning to slower flatwater below County Road F, making it suitable for both experienced paddlers and beginners depending on water levels (recommended minimum 175 cfs).
