For a glimpse of history and a scenic stroll, hike over the Stillwater Lift Bridge, a rare example of a vertical-lift bridge that spans the St. Croix River between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Built in 1931, the bridge features steel trusses, concrete balustrades and a movable span that lifts for boat traffic12. Enjoy the views of the river and the charming town of Stillwater, then explore its cultural and natural attractions on foot or by bike. The bridge is part of a loop trail that connects to the new St. Croix Crossing Bridge3.
