East Main Street

The East Main Street boat ramp provides public access to Upper Saint Croix Lake, an 828-acre water body in Douglas County. This launching point is convenient for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the lake's calm waters, which reach a maximum depth of 22 feet. The ramp's location in Solon Springs makes it an accessible entry point for both day trips and longer paddling adventures on the upper portion of the Saint Croix system.

Upper Saint Croix Lake offers relatively protected paddling conditions suitable for various skill levels. The lake connects to the broader St. Croix National Scenic Riverway system, providing opportunities to explore multiple water bodies and access designated camping zones managed by the National Park Service. Be sure to bring proper personal flotation devices and check current conditions before launching. The area also features additional public amenities including a public beach for those seeking alternative recreation.
