A new website for Cannon River Sportsmens Club

We will be transferring over to this new site. You can still access the old site here in the meantime.

Welcome

The Cannon River Sportsmen’s Club was organized to encourage safe, educated, sportsman-like participation in individual outdoor sporting activities, and to promote the wise use of our natural resources.

Our Archery Range Is Finally Open!!!!!

The public is invited to come to use our range. It is located near the east end of Jefferson Parkway, under the new water tower. Come and join the fun anytime during daylight hours. No broadheads please.

Join us soon

Make plans to join us at our annual game feed and fund raiser. We will have a meal you will not likely forget anytime soon and lots of opportunity to win some great prizes. Everyone is a winner when they join our Sportsmen’s club!

Accomplishments

In 2008 our Club was recognized with two outstanding awards. The first was the Healthy Community Initiative Award given to our club by the Healthy Community Initiative and the Northfield News cooperatively. The award is called “Making A Difference” with our area youth.

Our second recognition was from the Minnesota Community Education Association. CRSC was recognized at their annual conference in Duluth as the MCEA Outstanding Organization.. This honor was awarded on the basis of achievement, cooperation and teamwork, use of resources and community impact. We were very impressed with the banquet and appreciated all the attention and recognition the MCEA gave to our club.

We believe we have “touched” the lives of approximately 4,000 area youth and adults since our club’s inception. Our mission is providing meaningful outdoor experiences to the Northfield Community, especially our area youth. Some of our projects in recent years have been:

• Scholarships for youth and family camps at Eagle Bluff at Lanesboro
