Osceola, Wisconsin on the St. Croix River
Riverwood delivers a consistently excellent paddling experience on the St. Croix River, backed by friendly staff who genuinely care about your day on the water. Captain Derrick and Captain Joel get frequent shoutouts for their welcoming attitudes, and the whole crew handles everything smoothly, from easy bookings to hassle-free cancellations. The shuttle system works like clockwork: they drop you at Interstate Park, you paddle at your own pace down the scenic river, and buses are waiting at the Osceola landing to zip you back to your car. What stands out is the relaxed vibe and great value. The calm waters suit everyone from beginners to families with kids, and there's no pressure to rush since you can take as long as you want before the final pickup. Regular visitors keep coming back year after year, including large groups that appreciate the staff's flexibility. The combination of beautiful scenery, well-maintained kayaks and canoes, and a staff that makes you feel welcome creates an experience people rave about.
Riverwood is the best place to rent canoes and kayaks. We have used them for the last few years to enjoy the beautiful St. Croix river. They have great service and well maintained equipment. Also if you have to cancel because of bad weather they have an easy and generous cancelation policy. If you want to enjoy the beautiful MN outdoors, Riverwood is the way to go!
