Rogers sits at the intersection of Interstate 94 and Trunk Highway 101. These roads connect the city with the employment centers and amenities of the Twin Cities, as well as recreational destinations in northern Minnesota. Natural attractions include Crow Hassan Park Reserve; the city’s parks and open spaces, Fletcher, and the Rogers Farmers Market add trails, history, and direct sales to the mix. You can plan your stay around what interests you most: prairie and outdoor activities, a traditional crossroads village, or a visit to the market.

Prairie and River at Crow Hassan Park Reserve

Within Rogers city limits, Crow Hassan Park Reserve encompasses a 2,182-acre regional park. The area is home to nearly 100 wildflower species and one of the state’s most diverse restored prairies. The prairie itself is a distinctive draw for anyone choosing a stay based on landscape.

For hiking, the park reserve lists nearly 18 miles of trails for summer and almost 10 miles for winter. These separate figures make the season an important part of planning. More than 15 miles of summer trails wind through the restored tallgrass prairie and along the scenic Crow River; these trails can also be used for horseback riding. For paddling, there is a carry-in boat access point for launching onto the Crow River.

City Trails and Parks

At the city level, Rogers’ parks and open-space system includes a 66-mile trail network. It also includes 32 city parks covering a total of 601 acres. These figures give you an overview of the city’s trails and parkland, while Crow Hassan Park Reserve, with its season-specific hiking trails, offers a distinct focus for planning.

Fletcher: History at the Crossroads

Fletcher is in Rogers at the intersection of Territorial Road and County Road 116 (Fletcher Lane). It is considered the best example of a traditional crossroads village in Hennepin County. The Minnesota Historical Society considers Fletcher eligible for designation as a historic district. This gives you a different perspective on Rogers than its natural areas: here, the focus is on the history and character of a crossroads village.

Buy Direct at the Rogers Farmers Market

At the Rogers Farmers Market, farmers, producers, artists and craftspeople, and select Rogers businesses sell their own products directly to the public. All products sold there must meet a clear origin requirement: they must be grown and/or produced by vendors within 50 miles of Rogers city limits. The market thus brings together different kinds of local products with a direct, defined connection to the surrounding area.

Events and Indoor Activities

For summer 2026, the “Entertainment in the Park” program was scheduled to offer free concerts and entertainment for children at the 21st Century Bank Event Center. If you plan to visit Rogers at a later date, check the event schedule for your specific travel dates.

The TruStone Center adds ice sports, indoor recreation, walking and running tracks, and community events to the options. Residents and visitors come together there under one roof. Combined with the natural areas and the concerts scheduled for specific seasons, this offers a choice of outdoor activities, indoor facility offerings, and date-specific events.
