Where you’re staying: Wood Lake + Grantsburg
Grantsburg sits in Burnett County near the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, so you get a friendly small‑town feel with serious outdoor access. Wood Lake is a calm spot to paddle at sunrise, try for panfish or bass, and watch migrating birds cruise overhead.
3 easy ways to spend a day
1) Paddles up on the St. Croix
The upper St. Croix is classic Northwoods water—forested banks, sandbars, and stretches with a little zip. Rent gear or book a shuttle through local outfitters, then float for a few hours and be back in time to grill dinner. Pick a mellow section for the kids or a slightly faster run if your crew wants a splash.
2) Wildlife watching at Crex Meadows
Just a short drive from the cabin, Crex Meadows Wildlife Area is 30,000 acres of wetlands and prairie. Cruise the auto‑tour route, scan for trumpeter swans and sandhill cranes, and pop into the visitor center for maps and current sightings. Photographers, bring the long lens—sunrise light over the marsh is next‑level.
3) Trails and river views in Governor Knowles State Forest
This 32,000‑acre forest parallels the St. Croix and offers hiking, biking, horseback riding, and winter ski/snowmobile routes. Mix a morning trail loop with an afternoon paddle or a lazy shoreline picnic.
Rain plan (or rest day) in town
Brickfield Brewing pours a wide rotating tap list in a restored creamery space across from Memory Lake. Grab a flight on the patio and watch the water.
Memory Lake Park has playgrounds, shelters, and seasonal events—easy fun for littles between adventures.
