Lake St. Croix Beach, MN

Tucked along the scenic St. Croix River, Lake St. Croix Beach is a small, easygoing community with a classic river-town feel. Originally built as a cluster of summer cabins, many of those vintage cottages have since been converted into charming year-round homes. Daily life here revolves around the water, whether you are spending sunny afternoons at the sandy swimming beach at Riverfront Park or taking the kids to the playground at Pettitt Park. With just over a thousand neighbors, it offers a quiet, tight-knit lifestyle where people genuinely appreciate the outdoors and the relaxed pace.
