Maple Grove launched off fireworks on July 16th, 2011 for the ending of Maple Grove Days. The fireworks were launched behind the Government Center on West Arbor Lake. I chose a viewing location approximately 4 miles away. After watching the fireworks right next to the lake for many years, I chose to mix it up this year.
Grand Finale:
The fireworks show was approximately 15 minutes long.
Plymouth, MN had a very nice fireworks show yesterday June 29th. There were many different colors, heart shapes, discs, sparklies, weeping willows and more. I’m not a fan of mono colored firework shows, and Plymouth did not disappoint. I watched the fireworks 10 miles away in Maple Grove.

Elm Creek in Elm Creek Park Reserve twists and turns all over the place. I find that pretty cool. I went off trail and hiked over to the creek and took a few pictures. The creek has encroached on a few of the trees. Having not been at this location before, I can’t say if the creek is high or not for this time of the year.
The first picture below is looking towards the other side of a small inlet off the creek. The second is looking out from the inlet and up the creek. These pictures were taken a little ways north of where the creek crosses Elm Creek Road.
Bing maps has a really cool bird’s eye view of this location; follow the link. Bing uses a bunch of different aerial imagery maps, so you can use the top navigation bar to circle around the location and also zoom in and out (you’ll have to check your house out with it!). This isn’t an ad, just found this feature again, and thought I’d share.
