On a bluff overlooking the St. Croix River is the site of what was a thriving industrial sawmill.

Today, the ruins of the mill are as much a part of the site as the river, trees, and trails that run through it.

Managed by the City of Marine on St. Croix.

Minnesota’s historical sites thrive thanks to your support.

Hours and admission

The trails are open daily, from dawn until dusk. Trails are not maintained in the winter.

What to see and do
