Northfield's Cannon ​River Crests at About 897 Feet

After several days of significant and rising water levels, city officials believe Northfield's Cannon River has crested at just above 897 feet.

Officials noticed waterfilling "storage areas" along the river, including Riverside, Babcock, and Sechler Park areas, as well as the west Riverwalk area.

The river levels are expected to fall slowly, but the river will likely remain high for several days, according to a news release.

City staff will continue to monitor weather forecasts, rainfall amounts, and river gauges.

Businesses and residents in flood prone areas are urged to monitor the weather and water levels themselves and take appropriate measures to protect their property.

If you observe flooding issues that pose a risk to public safety or property, call (507) 645-4475.
