The Cannon River continues to drop in Welch upstream, but it’s still high and over its banks at Hwy 61 north of Red Wing. These shots were taken Tuesday March 26th. I can see little difference today in the level today.

River Terrace Prairie Scientific and Natural Area at sunset Friday January the 11th, 2019.
Even viewed from a mile away, is a striking feature on the landscape. This site was protected as an SNA for its dry sand – gravel prairie (Southern subtype), which is ranked as an imperiled native plant community in the state. It occurs here on glacial outwash atop an isolated terrace of the Cannon River that rises sharply 30 feet above the surrounding lower terrace.
