Cannon Falls: US 52: T.H.52 SB @ Co Rd 24 EB (MP 96.1)
Cannon Falls is best known in Minnesota for the Cannon Valley Trail, a paved rail trail that follows the Cannon River valley between Cannon Falls and Red Wing. The town stands where the Little Cannon River meets the Cannon, amid the rolling farmland and wooded bluffs of southeastern Minnesota. Its name recalls the falls on the Little Cannon River that drew early settlers. The Cannon continues to the Mississippi River at Red Wing, tying the town to a wider bluff-country landscape. U.S. Highway 52 runs along Cannon Falls’s eastern side, making it a practical stop on the road between the Twin Cities and Rochester. The former railroad corridor now links the community to the river valley’s cycling and walking network.

Forests, prairie and a vast lake country define much of Minnesota – these environments sustain farming, recreation and communities accustomed to long, cold winters. The Mississippi River begins at Lake Itasca in the north, then crosses the state on its way south, while Minnesota’s Lake Superior shoreline brings a markedly different, rocky Great Lakes character to the northeast. Minneapolis and Saint Paul form the Twin Cities on the river, the state’s principal urban centre. Minnesota is also home to Dakota and Ojibwe communities whose cultural presence remains central to the region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
