Project Description:
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Parks and Trails
Division intends to develop a St. Croix River water access site adjacent to the new St. Croix
Crossing Bridge. This site will consist of an access road, 35 parking stalls, a boat ramp, and a
vehicle turn-around circle to provide increased access to St. Croix River for recreational
activities.
The river access project is located beneath the superstructure of the St. Croix Crossing and
within the review area of the EIS for that project. The St. Croix Crossing project was permitted in
2013, and several of the wetland impacts that were intended to be temporary as part of the
bridge project would now become permanent as part of the proposed river access project.
