Delano is located about 30 miles west of Minneapolis, and is situated on the Crow River. This family-friendly city is a dynamic and growing community with big plans for future development, especially along the riverfront and downtown areas. They've already built brand new, single-family town homes as the first addition, which will also include a large community park and some mixed-use business, retail and dining space.

Delano is located near Lake Rebecca Park Reserve-comprised of 2,200 acres: swimming beach, mountain bike trail (3.5 miles), boat launch, public and group picnic areas, creative play area (11,000 square feet), group camps, paved bike/hiking trails ( 7 miles), horse trails (9.2 miles), dog trails (5.4 miles), boat rental and rental building and fishing pier.
