Gauge Information

Name Range Difficulty Updated Level
ST. CROIX RIVER NEAR DANBURY, WI
usgs-05333500 1000 - 5000 cfs I-II 63d21h58m 3140 cfs (rc= 0.5 )
Uncertain! Help us out! Add a comment about boatable range! Gauge (1,580 sq.mi. drainage) is a good ways upstream, with a good number of sizable tribs, thus will not accurately reflect actual flow for this reach.


River Description

Numerous minor rapids (class I-II) populate this reach. Many large islands split the flow, effectively making this almost two separate trips.

Some river descriptions suggest 'swapping streams', starting in the left channel for 2.5 miles, then (just past "Fox Landing") dragging a half mile up a 'cut-through' channel to swap over to the right channel for the better rapids in its lower reaches.
