Willow River (St. Croix River)

Willow River is a river in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, United States and a tributary of the St. Croix River. Its headwaters are found near the village of Deer Park (near the northern border of the county) (coor dms|45|10|35|N|92|20|02|W|city). The river dumps into the lower St. Croix river in between Hudson and North Hudson (coor dms|44|59|18|N|92|45|46|W|city).

The river lazily winds back and forth with a slow flowage. Its origin is in and around the Cylon Wildlife Area. It passes south of Deer Park about one mile. It then passes threw the towns New Richmond, Boardman, and Burkhardt. Near Burkhardt it inters the Willow River State Park.

The river is hardly canoed north of the town of Burkhardt due to fallen trees and sand bars. In times of low water it is nearly impossible to canoe the river. In the spring the high water in about 6 ft higher than the summer mean. Although it is possible to canoe or kayak the river is not advised. Trout fishing is general done down river from Boardman.
