Active exurb and bedroom community miles north of Twin Cities
The furious rumbling of motorcycles occasionally fills the air during summers in Wyoming, Minnesota. Those rides are just some of the activities in this bedroom community located about a half-hour north of the Twin Cities. Along with neighbor Forest Lake, Wyoming offers an outdoor-friendly exurb, mainly due to the area’s numerous lakes and fishing holes.
“I’m fond of it just because of the diversity. You can ride your dirt bikes on your personal property, you can shoot guns, you can make endless noise and then irritate some of the people who moved out of the cities to be in the peace and quiet,” quips Mike Haseltine, a native of the area and the founding pastor of Wyoming’s Maranatha Assembly of God church.
Green Lake is one of many recreational waterways that surround Wyoming.
Wyoming's various neighborhoods are never far from a fun and adventurous park.

Boating and fishing around Wyoming
Green, Chisago and Forest lakes are some of the most prominent sites in the area. The lakes draw boaters and anglers who will find largemouth bass, walleye and crappie. The city’s green spaces include Goodview Park, which boasts an open field, playground equipment and skating ramps. Spanning 21 miles, the Sunrise Prairie Regional Trail connects the city to its neighbors.
The Maranatha Assembly of God also has a weight room and offers karate and boxing. Like much of the Twin Cities area, Wyoming keeps an outdoor ice rink. The city has also been raising funds for its Railroad Park project, which will add walking paths and a veterans’ memorial.

Halloween’s Sugar Rush and bike shows
Annual events include May’s Bike Rodeo and August’s public safety-themed Night to Unite. Around Halloween, the Maranatha Assembly of God hosts Sugar Rush. The event typically draws over 1,000 people and invites children to play dozens of games for candy. June’s Blessing of the Bikes sees motorcyclists ride through the church’s parking lot and lobby. The church follows up the biking event with an August car show that usually brings out a few thousand people. The institution will even pour a patch of concrete to allow the cars to do burnouts.

Rosenbauer’s Wyoming plant

Wyoming has steadily grown over the decades, occasionally seeing significant population jump. The latest U.S. Census estimate shows the city has a population of 8,116, which is only a slight increase from 2020. However, its population in 2010 went up by 155%. Haseltine believes the city’s size and location are among its draws. “It’s still small enough to where you get a sense of community when you’re here,” he says. “You can still be kind of out in the woods, but you’re not desolate.”
Interstate 35 passes through Wyoming, providing a direct route toward the Twin Cities. The Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport is the region’s hub for commercial flights.
