National Park Service announces construction to improve Osceola landing
“We are thrilled to be able to invest in sustaining Osceola Landing as a major access point on the St. Croix River. This project will improve safety and help people continue to enjoy the Riverway well into the future,” said Craig Hansen, superintendent of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway.
The National Park Service awarded a contract to Nordic Group, Inc., based in Carlton, Minnesota and minor construction activities were completed in Fall 2021. Construction resumes when conditions allow and are expected to last through Spring 2023.
Osceola Landing is the busiest National Park Service landing on the St. Croix River. Well known as the take- out point for the popular day trip from Minnesota or Wisconsin Interstate Park through the Dalles, the landing also provides access for motorized boats and paddlers headed downstream.
River access at current launches, near the Highway 243 bridge are expected to remain open during construction. However, the southern portion of Osceola Landing will be closed for the duration of the project and parking will be very limited. Portable toilets will be available but not drinking water. Visitors are encouraged to access the St. Croix River from other locations.
