Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park is one of Anoka County's most popular parks. It's 446 acres, and it has plenty to do no matter what your interests. There is a boat launch in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter. In addition, there are hiking trails and biking trails, fishing spots, and plenty of room for geocaching. There are places for barbecuing and picnics, including seven picnic pavilions with facilities for rent. There is a Visitor Center with snowshoe and cross-country ski rental, and it has a bird watching area as well. And, of course, there is the dam, which is a sight to behold. All in all, it's a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends and/or family.
