About This Access Site
Located in Hinckley, Pine County, this boat ramp provides motorized and non-motorized access to the St. Croix River, a nationally recognized wild and scenic waterway. The facility features a dedicated boat launch with 50 trailer spaces, making it well-suited for groups and day-trippers launching larger vessels or multiple boats.
The St. Croix River in this area offers diverse paddling and boating opportunities, with sandy and gravelly bottom sections that are particularly popular with anglers pursuing smallmouth bass. Water conditions can vary seasonally; during high water periods, paddlers may encounter small rapids, particularly between the Head of the Rapids landing and Highway 70 bridge upstream. The site includes basic amenities such as vault toilets and parking, making it a functional access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat operators exploring this scenic river corridor.
