“To conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use and enjoyment of our natural resources, in Our focus is to get youth energized about the outdoors.

We are a chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America, a national non-profit focused on conservation and outdoor recreation. Chartered in 1952, we maintain the Ikes Park located on the Hennepin Canal. Our grounds offer picnic facilities, fishing, campgrounds, a boat ramp, a handicapped-accessible fishing dock, and a lodge for community and visitor use. Each year we sponsor a Youth Fishing Rodeo. We also support the Girl Scouts, Ladders to Learning, fishing at the park, and school outing.
