The Brule St. Croix Portage Trail is located near Solon Springs in Wisconsin’s Douglas County. This is a 3.9 mile (6.4 km) out and back trail within the Brule River State Forest and is a section of the North County National Scenic Trail. The historic portage trail is the same route crossed centuries ago because it was a quick link between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. The trail follows parallel to St. Croix Creek to the St. Croix River. Leashed dogs are allowed on this trail.
Travel Directions: From downtown Solon Springs take County Road A north for 3 miles. Watch out for signs saying the North Country Trail in “1000 feet ahead” and turn into the boat landing for parking. The trailhead is directly across the road from parking.
