About This Access Site
Twin Springs is a concrete boat ramp providing convenient access to the Saint Croix River on the Wisconsin side in Houlton. The ramp accommodates a range of watercraft, from kayaks and canoes to larger fishing boats and pontoons. This is a well-maintained facility suitable for launching small to medium-sized boats, making it an accessible entry point for paddlers and recreational boaters alike.

The launch provides direct access to the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, a popular destination for fishing, boating, and paddling. Before visiting, check with local authorities regarding any seasonal size restrictions or current conditions. Permits are required to use the facility; day passes and annual permits are available. The nearby St. Croix Wetland Management District offers additional wildlife viewing opportunities in the area, making this a good base for exploring the scenic river corridor.
