This mostly undeveloped beautiful wilderness river is fondly known as Wisconsin's Moving National Park and with good reason. The river is a northern tributary to the St. Croix River. It is nearly 100 miles long and is protected under the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Popular activities are kayaking, canoeing and tubing. You'll spot a variety of abundant Wisconsin wildlife such as muskrats, beavers, turtles, blue herons, deer, eagles and osprey. The river is classified as Class I-II rapids. Primitive campsites are common along the Namekagon, many of which can only be accessed from the water.

There are 7.5 miles of trails which are a mix of flat and easy rolling terrain, winding around a lake and through pines and hardwoods. The trails are used for hiking, running, walking and biking. In the winter people enjoy skiing on the classic only ski trail maintained by HASTA (Hayward Area Ski Trails Association). Text courtesy of Hayward Memorial Hospital website.
