Howell Landing At Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway Temporary Closed

Share
By NPT Staff - August 2nd, 2017

Flood damage, and normal use, will require that Howell Landing in Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway be temporarily closed while repairs and improvements are made/NPS

Flood damage and normal use are being cited for the need to close Howell Landing at the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway in Wisconsin while restoration work is performed.

Park staff say the landing on the Namekagon River will close on August 7. During the closure, you won't be able to camp, park, or access the river at Howell Landing.

This repair work will address a failing retaining wall and unsafe stairway and include an ADA-compliant access ramp. Environmentally sustainable and safe materials will be used for the project. In addition, the Park Service intends to install a new well for drinking water, stabilize and restore the shoreline, and improve the parking area.

The project is expected to take several weeks. Check updates on the park website by looking at the “alerts” at the top of the webpages.

Alternatives to Howell Landing include West Howell Landing located directly across the river. Drinking water is not available at West Howell Landing; however, the existing well at Howell Landing will remain open and accessible from the river only.
