White Bear Township

White Bear Township Main Photo

Not to be confused with White Bear Lake, White Bear Township is the only remaining township in Ramsey County. It encompasses an area of 10.8 square miles and has a population of more than 12,000 people. It is primarily made up of single-family housing nestled in neighborhoods close to the many lakes in the area, large tracts of light industrial areas and small enclaves of commercial development. One significant feature of the township is its culture of preservation with regional parks and open spaces dominating the landscape.
