Overview


Washington County has several motorized boat launches. Access to all boat launches is included with a Washington County Parks vehicle permit. No launching is allowed if there are no current open trailer parking spaces, even to just drop-in. 

The St. Croix Bluffs Boat Launch is closed in the winter once snowfall occurs due to the steep slope of the hill.
