"Coon Rapids Regional Park
In December 1969, the ownership of the land and the Coon Rapids Dam was transferred to the Hennepin County Park Reserve District. This became the basis for developing the Coon Rapids Dam and surrounding 360 acres of land (225 of which are on the Anoka County side) into the beautifully new completed Coon Rapids Regional Park completed in mid-September 1978. The county public park facilities feature a 1,070-foot concrete walkway with an elevated observation deck spanning the entire Mississippi River between Hennepin and Anoka Counties. This deck gives visitors an intimate, exciting, and breathtaking view of the immense force of the water rushing through-the spillway gates on its way southward to Minneapolis."
