EXPLORING THE ST. CROIX RIVER VALLEY event with Stillwater Noon Rotary at St. Croix Event Center with Angie Hong

Angie Hong, author of Exploring the St. Croix River Valley, will join the Stillwater Noon Rotary Club at the St. Croix Event Center at noon on Thursday, August 22, for a presentation on her new book.


From headwaters to tributaries, Exploring the St. Croix River Valley is a comprehensive guide to the St. Croix Riverway and its 8,000-square-mile watershed. As readers learn about the landscape, its history, and the local flora and fauna, environmental educator Angie Hong recommends specific places to explore the varied habitats—including prairies, forests, and lakes—and shares countless ways to get out and enjoy them.

“In Exploring the St. Croix River Valley (University of Minnesota Press), outdoor educator Angie Hong proves an especially spirited and knowledgeable guide to the scenic region. She provides a wealth of lived-in tips for outdoor adventures of all kinds, from beginner to advanced, in the place where she and her family ‘have woven ourselves into the fabric of the St. Croix.’”—Minnesota Conservation Volunteer
