Maps and Trails

Trail map – Anoka Nature Preserve

ANP Area Trails:  The link is for the most recent map of the ANP.  The Anoka County Library is visible near the lower right corner of the picture, just off the intersection of 7th Avenue and County 116 (Bunker Lake Blvd).  Head behind the library on Parkview Lane to the Trailhead parking lot (at the playground). The City of Anoka maintains a ‘multi-use trail’ during the winter for walking, snowshoeing, and skiing.

This is a basic map of the Anoka Nature Preserve with the proposed Metro Regional Trail and other features shown.. the “core” trail (shown in blue) in the center of the Preserve is known as the Vern Emmans Bluebird Trail.  Please be cautious around the bluebird houses–there are many, and they’re place in strategic locations for nesting.

Anoka High School students refer to the large, square meadow to the west as “Iowa,” and it offers a fabulous view from the hilltop in the center of the meadow. It slopes down to river bottom land which occasionally floods, and provides habitat and nesting grounds for many of the area waterfowl.
