New Prague is located just 30 minutes southwest of the Minneapolis and St. PaulMinnesota metro area, and blends the charm and tranquility of their rural heritage with the sophistication of a cosmopolitan perspective. New Prague was founded in 1856, and has a current population of about 7,000. They are rich in Czech, Bavarian, and Bohemian culture. New Prague has the small town sense of community, with the business and services often only found in large metropolitan areas.

Located in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, it's not surprising to learn that several lakes can be found within the area. Water sports and other outdoor recreation opportunities abound. The 600-acre River Bend Nature Center features trails for hiking and cross-country skiing. Bicyclists and snowmobilers head for the Sakatah-Singing Hills Trail for 39 miles of forested land, reaching all the way to Mankato.
