Champlin, MN

Champlin is a northern Twin Cities suburb in Hennepin County, set near the Mississippi River and the Brooklyn Park border. It is a residential city with a practical suburban feel, but local traditions give it some texture, especially the Father Hennepin Festival held each June. Hayden Lake, Champlin Mill Pond, parks, schools, and commuter access help define daily life, while Minneapolis is close enough to keep the city tied to the broader metro.
