The We Are Water MN exhibit moves to Itasca this week! Join us for this public seminar to hear from Dr. Jake Walsh, Assistant Professor in Fisheries Wildlife and Conservation Biology at the University of Minnesota, who will share about his research partnerships with State, local, and Tribal governments and local citizen groups to better understand and manage our valuable lakes.
As we reach the height of summer in Minnesota, We Are Water MN travels north to a deeply significant site for water in our state: the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River! The water found at Lake Itasca begins here and flows on its winding way 2552 miles to the Gulf of Mexico.
Celebrate the launch of We Are Water MN at Itasca State Park with a morning and afternoon filled with free, family-friendly activities.
Let’s get creative! Come paint next to Lake Itasca and become inspired by the beauty of Itasca State Park and U of M Itasca Biological Station.
Enjoy an afternoon of free, family-friendly activities at Itasca State Park and U of M Itasca Biological Station as part of the We Are Water MN exhibit.
Relax and unwind with Yoga by the Lake, catered to all ages and levels of physical fitness! Enjoy nature while benefiting from yoga as the calming view of Lake Itasca and the towering pines overhead center you.
As the summer comes to a close and fall sets in, join We Are Water MN at Great River Arts (GRA) in Little Fall, where creativity meets community. GRA exists to enrich lives through the arts and become the art hub for the Morrison County area, playing a significant role in sustaining the community's artistic and economic vibrancy.
We Are Water MN will round out its 2026 tour at the Northtown Library in Blaine! Anoka County Libraries exist to serve their communities and connect them to resources and learning, and We Are Water MN is no exception, bringing water education and engagement to the library.
