Dassel & Cokato
WELCOME YOU
Whether it’s the proximity to family, the sense of communi-
ty, or the beauty in the nature that surrounds them, residents
are proud to call the Dassel and Cokato areas their home.
Roughly 50 miles from the Twin Cities, the two towns offer
country living not far from the metropolitan area, providing
recreational lakes, trails, and community events throughout
the year.
Located about six miles apart, the towns are connected
by a regional trail that runs parallel to US Highway 12. Each
town is unique in its own ways, but they can be considered
one community as they share a school district, among other
things.
Some of the qualities valued by its residents are the arts
and cultural events provided by the historical societies, yearround
entertainment at the Dassel-Cokato Performing Arts
Center, and recreational opportunities that are made possible
with the plethora of lakes within the area.
Town ball is also a treasured pastime. During the spring and
summer, residents cheer on their favorite teams, whether it’s
the Dassel-Cokato Saints playing in the Dassel Ball Park, or
the Cokato Kernels at Veterans Memorial Park.
The Cokato Corn Carnival in August and Dassel Red Rooster
Days over Labor Day weekend are annual events that bring
the communities together for food, fun, and entertainment.

Guidebook, brought to you by the hometown newspaper,
