Directions to ARC

From the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN:

Note: If you are accustomed to traveling to ARC via I-35, exiting to 95 west to Cambridge, construction is currently impeding traffic on 95.

Alternative routes:
Take Hwy 65 north to Cambridge from 694 or Hwy 10

Take I-35 to exit #152 (Harris), the next exit north of the North Branch/Cambridge/Hwy 95 exit. Turn left onto Chisago Co 10; this becomes Isanti Co 2 and leads back to Cambridge. It is longer than the original route but more efficient than the marked detour.

Travel North approx. 50 miles on Hwy 65 to Grandy, MN (5 miles beyond Cambridge, MN)

	To get to Hwy 65 from Minneapolis, take 35W north to Hwy 10, 10 north/west about two miles to 65 north.
	Or take 35W or 35E north; they merge into 35. Take 35 to Hwy 95 (Exit 147, North Branch) and go west 13 miles on 95 to Cambridge; take 65 north 5 miles to Grandy.

Turn left (west) on County Rd. 6, go 2.9 miles
