The North Country National Trail is a 4600-mile hiking route that spans between Vermont and South Dakota. The mainline of this trail crosses northern Wisconsin between Upper Michigan and Duluth Minnesota. The St. Croix River Section is a brief 2.4-mile linear footpath between a spur trail to Gordon Dam County Park and Mail Road. This length of the NCT approaches the banks of another National Parks Service property: The St. Croix National Wild and Scenic River.
The St. Croix River Section is a flat and easy hike through a mix of pine and hardwood forest. The route between Gordon Dam and Mail Road is 3 miles total (6-mile out-n-back). The Scotts Rapids Campsite is available for long-distance hikers. Camping is also available at Gordon Dam County Park, along with water and restrooms.
