Additional information: Located about 2.5 miles north of Stillwater on State Hwy. 95, the 26-acre Boom Site overlooks a wide area on the St. Croix River where an estimated 15.5 billion feet of logs from the pine forests of the St. Croix valley were gathered and sorted before being floated downstream to sawmills between 1856 and 1914. The Great Depression-era Works Progress Administration developed the site as a roadside recreational area in the 1930s, and it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
