About This Access Site
Nelsons Landing provides convenient access to the Saint Croix River in Grantsburg, Wisconsin, via a well-maintained boat ramp approximately 20 feet wide. The ramp is suitable for launching most watercraft types, including kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. This access point serves as a gateway to the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, a federally protected corridor popular for fishing, boating, and paddling.

The landing offers a practical starting point for exploring this scenic river system. Paddlers and boaters should note that the Saint Croix Riverway is divided into four federal camping zones with varying management policies. For detailed information about river conditions, interactive maps, camping regulations, and current accessibility features, visit the National Park Service website for the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. The site's location in northern Wisconsin near the Minnesota border makes it an excellent access point for both day trips and multi-day river expeditions.
