Head of the Rapids Landing is a whitewater access point on the St. Croix River located in Crosby Township, Pine County, Wisconsin. This site provides access to the upper section of the St. Croix, a popular destination for paddlers seeking whitewater conditions. The landing serves as a put-in point for kayakers and canoeists looking to navigate the rapids and moving water characteristic of this portion of the river.
Paddlers using this access should be prepared for moving water conditions and moderate to fast current typical of whitewater sections. The site's name references the rapids located in this area, indicating that this is suitable for paddlers with at least intermediate skill level and experience handling river current. Due to the whitewater nature of this stretch, proper safety equipment and paddling skills are important considerations before launching.
