Who We Are

Citizens for the Minnehaha Creek Corridor (CMCC) is a group that formed out of a desire to be involved with the neighborhoods and communities touched by the Minnehaha Creek.  The creek winds 22 miles from Gray's Bay on the eastern edge of Lake Minnetonka to the Minnehaha Falls and the Mississippi River.  Our goal is to work with individuals and groups to keep Minnehaha Creek and its recreational areas green and vibrant. 

Our Mission Statement

The mission of the Citizens for the Minnehaha Creek Corridor is to serve as a citizens’ group dedicated to helping people experience, understand, advocate for, and appreciate the Minnehaha Creek resource.

Creek Clean Up in partnership with REI, Leinenkugels, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District was a huge success!

Sunday July 13 more than 100  volunteers came out and braved a very windy day to clean up the area around Lake Hiawatha and the Minnehaha Creek.  CMCC would like to thank all of our partners in this event; REI, MCWD, Leinenkugal's, and Silouette Events.  The volunteers pulled bag after bag of trash out of the water with two people even filling canoe with trash!  Stay tuned to this webpage for our next creek event.

Canoe the creek!

Canoe season is here and there is an updated Minnehaha Creek Caone Route and Watershed map.  These maps are available at outdoor retailers in the Twin Cities or thru the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District.  www.minnehahacreek.org or 952.471.0590.

Earth Day Success and Thank You!

Saturday April 19th was Earth Day and CMCC was at three locations in South Minneapolis.  Those locations along the Minnehaha Creek saw over 150 volunteers which equals better than 300 hours of work!  Thank you to all who participated, it was a great day.
