Cannon River Rendezvous - Participant/Camper Information

Join us over Memorial Weekend for the Twin Cities Muzzle Loaders annual Cannon River Rendezvous. The site is located just west of Cannon Falls, (Map) in a secluded, primitive area that fits the idea of a Pre-1840's Site. The sound of the fiddle in this secluded glen along the river for the traditional Memorial Day gathering is something you'll not want to miss. We look forward to seeing you there.... 

Covid – Please follow all CDC guidelines. We encourage the wearing of masks and social distancing. No steak dinner this year, No camp wide potluck
​
Site is open to the public, but this year we are not encouraging public attendance.​​​
