Join Clean River Partners and Native Fish for Tomorrow to fish with a naturalist at the Cannon River Wilderness Area!
No prior experience or special equipment is required! You’ll learn about the Cannon River Habitat Protection and Restoration Program and the vital role of safeguarding fish habitats. You’ll also hear from Native Fish for Tomorrow about the importance of native fish in our ecosystem.
We’ll gather at the Cannon River Wilderness Area West Trailhead pavilion, and the fishing location is just a short 0.3-mile hike from there. The only requirement is a valid Minnesota fishing license, which can be easily purchased online.
*Registration is capped at 25 participants.

Learn about our Habitat Protection and Restoration Program
We are part of a long-term collaborative conservation project to acquire and restore land for protection and public access. Our partnership involves our organization, a local partner with community ties, Trust for Public Land for land acquisition expertise, and Great River Greening for restoration experience. Together, we protect and restore specific parcels of land that contribute to larger forests, prairies, wetlands, lakeshores, and river shorelines. So far, we have protected 18 areas in the Cannon River watershed, totaling over 3,100 acres, and have restored or improved 498 acres, with more work in progress.
This work is supported through funding from the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council, which was established by the legislature to provide annual funding recommendations to the legislature from the Outdoor Heritage Fund. The Outdoor Heritage Fund, one of four funds created by the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment, receives one-third of the money raised by the tax increase.
