Our hiking route will put the National Historic Landmark with its 34,000 acres on full display. St. Croix State Park is flanked by the St. Croix River, a National Scenic Riverway, and located less than 90 minutes away from Minneapolis.
We will once more welcome nature enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, and anyone seeking a connection with the great outdoors for a beautiful & challenging adventure.
Master the challenge and spend a beautiful day hiking 20 miles at a stretch. Getting your finisher medal, you will be exhausted but proud and happy... as well as part of our amazing community of nature-lovers, hikers and MammothMarch addicts!
