Ham Lake: Low Density at the Metro's Northern Reach
Ham Lake lies in Anoka County north of Blaine, a semi-rural community that has maintained larger lot sizes and a more spacious character than its southern suburban neighbors. The city's population of about 16,000 is spread across 36 square miles, one of the lowest population densities in the metro area.
The 2012 Ham Lake Fire, one of the largest wildfires in modern Minnesota history, burned over 75,000 acres of forest north of the city. While the fire started outside Ham Lake itself, the city shares its name with the event that damaged the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
The city's lakes and wetlands, including Ham Lake itself, provide a natural character. Commercial development is minimal, concentrated at the intersection of Highway 65 and Constance Boulevard. Most residents commute to employment centers in the southern metro.
The Coon Lake beach and boat launch provide the primary public water recreation in the community. Fishing tournaments on Coon Lake draw participants from across the metro during summer months.
Ham Lake's fire department is staffed largely by volunteers, reflecting the semi-rural character that the community has maintained even as surrounding areas have developed more densely.
