The center operates seasonally from mid-May through the end of September on a first-come, first-served basis. Located along the Kettle River, Minnesota's first Wild and Scenic River, the group center provides access to exceptional outdoor recreation. The nearby Two Rivers hiking trail offers a scenic five-mile loop, while Head of the Rapids Landing provides direct river access to the St. Croix River, a National Scenic Riverway.
