Cannon River WMA

Cannon River WMA offers a canoe launch to the Cannon River along with approximately 5 miles of hiking and horseback trails, a picnic area with shelter, and four primitive campsites available on a first-come, first-served basis (3-day maximum stay).

The facility features a wood-beam footbridge across the river and port-a-potty facilities (May through October), with two access points: the south entrance near Faribault and the north entrance near Northfield.

This 850-acre wooded river valley location is ideal for paddlers and hikers seeking to explore the scenic Cannon River corridor.
