North Creek is a tributary of the Vermillion River that connects Eagan, Apple Valley, Lakeville, Farmington and Empire Township. It crosses the urban fringe of the Twin Cities from suburban Apple Valley and Eagan to rural Empire Township.
As the landscape around North Creek evolves, the corridor assumes heightened importance as a defining natural feature.
The 14-mile North Creek Greenway will connect important regional destinations, including Lebanon Hills Regional Park, the Minnesota Zoo, downtown Farmington, the Vermillion River and Whitetail Woods Regional Park.
