Welcome to Stillwater, Minnesota. Stillwater is a dynamic, growing community of over 18,000 residents nestled into the bluffs of the St. Croix River, one of America's protected Wild and Scenic Waterways.
Stillwaterâs lift bridge (1931) spans the St. Croix River between Stillwater and Houlton, WI and is one of three remaining lift bridges in the U.S. today. Construction is underway to build a new bridge nearby and use the Historic Lift Bridge as a walking/biking bridge.
