Fall snapshots of C**n Creek at its confluence with the Mississippi River 🍂🍁 C**n Creek begins its journey in Columbus, MN. The wetlands of the Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area feed the headwaters of C**n Creek. From there, the Creek winds its way through central Anoka County receiving water from portions of Ham Lake, Andover, Blaine, and C**n Rapids before flowing into the Mississippi River at C**n Rapids Dam Regional Park.

Mussels are one of the most overlooked animals in our lakes and streams. Mussels filter oxygen and particles from the water, cleaning the water in the process. They're sensitive to changes in their environment and serve as indicators of the health of our waterways.

Rain is in the forecast! It's a great time to check on your local storm drain. Clearing debris from storm drains before and after it rains helps prevent pollution and keep the drains from getting clogged.
