Welcome to
SHAFER
TOWNSHIP
Hi Everyone,
Spring is here and the weather has been fantastic. We would like to take an opportunity to wish all the Mom's out there a Happy and wonderful Mother's Day.
With spring comes Graduations. We would like to congratulate all of the graduating classes of 2025.
We also hope that all the local fishermen and women get to enjoy the fishing opener.
Spring road work has begun. We are doing some shoulder reclaiming again this spring. I know it makes a bit of a mess at first, but it is temporary, so please bear with us as we make those improvements.
As always if you have any concerns please let one of us know.

Shafer Township is located in southeast Chisago County, bordered to the east by the city of Taylors Falls and the St. Croix River, which is the Minnesota–Wisconsin border. The city of Shafer is in the southwest part of the township but an administratively separate entity. The unincorporated community of Palmdale is in the north.
U.S. Highway 8 follows most of the southern boundary of the township, turning northeast to travel to Taylors Falls, then across the river to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and leading west to Lindstrom and Chisago City. State Highway 95 (MN 95) crosses the north part of the township, passing through Palmdale and leading southeast to Taylors Falls and northwest to North Branch.
