Canoeing

We are in one of Minnesota’s best areas for canoeing, with two national wild and scenic rivers, the Upper St. Croix and the Namekagon.

At Woodland Trails, there are canoeing options for novices and experts.  For the novice, use our canoe for a trip around our private pond, Grace Lake Too.

A little more adventure is afforded by the nearby St. Croix River Scenic Riverway.  Paddling down the river gives you a feeling of real wilderness since no buildings are visible from the river.

Plan your canoe adventure through Pardun Canoe Rentals in Danbury – 715-656-7881.  Actually, Pardun has two bases of operations, one in Danbury and the other inside St. Croix State Park.  (You do need a sticker to enter the park.)

Tubing

On a warm summer day, floating in an inner tube down the St. Croix can be luxurious!   Pardun Canoe Rental does tubing trips out of Danbury.

Two tubing cautions:  Of course, bring sunscreen!  Also, we suggest taking the shortest trip possible, about one hour.  Since the St. Croix is a scenic river with no buildings, you can’t get out of the river between the launch place and the bridge where you are picked up.

Four-Wheeling & Snowmobiling

Bring your machines!  We have parking.  

You can rent UTVs, ATVs and Snowmobiles from ThrottleRX in Danbury.
