Lake Elmo

Lake Elmo and the wetlands around it define the setting of Lake Elmo — water, woodland and former farmland still give this eastern Twin Cities community an open character. Lake Elmo Park Reserve, managed by Washington County, preserves prairie, oak woodland and lakeshore habitat, with trails and seasonal recreation woven into the area’s everyday life. The city’s rural roots remain apparent in its historic village core and in the agricultural land that still borders newer residential neighbourhoods. Lake Elmo sits on the eastern side of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area, not far from Stillwater and the St. Croix River valley.
