Our Community
Coon Lake Community & Senior Center Mission
Serving the people of the Coon Lake Beach area by maintaining financial integrity and providing services that contribute to the health and vitality of the community.
History
Established in 1925 the Coon Lake Community was developed by the newspaper now known as the StarTribune as a marketing effort to increase subscription rates. Lots were offered at $67.50 with a six month subscription and marketed as a lake cabin community. Over the next 100 years the Coon Lake Beach Community has gone through growth and development challenges that has now become a sought after place to restore unused lots and build cozy homes to enjoy as a permanent resident.

Walleye Catch & Release
The Coon Lake Improvement Association has worked closely with the Minnesota DNR and local area fisherman on walleye stocking programs for Coon Lake. Previous stocking efforts by CLIA have been approved by the MN DNRand have proven to be successful. Therefore, the MN DNR is proposing to stock walleyes and implement a 17" minimum walleye harvest length for walleyes caught in Coon Lake.

Cans for kids is a program sponsored by the Coon Lake Community Center that Collects Aluminum Cans.
The Proceeds are used for children's activities such as Halloween and Christmas Parties.
Please drop off your aluminum cans at the Large Recycle Bin in the Coon Lake Community Center Parking Lot.
