Cannon Falls offers peaceful valley living by the Cannon River
Cannon Falls is a riverside community along U.S. Route 52, between Rochester and Minneapolis. “The topography of the area gives it character,” says Laura Qualey, who is the community and business development specialist in Cannon Falls. “We have lots of trees, valleys and natural beauty.” The Cannon River winds through town and alongside waterfront parks, and provides residents with plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Apart from outdoor activities, the small community of about 4,000 enjoys proximity to larger metro areas like Red Wing and a host of year-round community celebrations as well as local shopping and dining options in the historic downtown district.

Water recreation at parks, the Cannon River and Lake Byllesby
Cannon Falls has about a dozen public parks, a seasonal community pool, trails and sports fields for recreation. Hannah's Bend Park has a frisbee golf course, a playground and walking trails that connect to the Mill Town Trail. The park is also home to waterfront festivals and events in the summer. Archie Swenson Fields has several baseball and softball fields, and Riverside Park has a canoe launch point. “The Cannon River is an attraction for residents, and people go there for canoeing, kayaking, boating and fishing,” Qualey says. Lake Byllesby is another recreation spot for kayaking and ice fishing, and the 20-mile-long Cannon Valley Trail connects to Red Wing.
