Coon Rapids

Few cities in Minnesota have a history as closely tied to the Mississippi River’s rapids and early hydropower as Coon Rapids. The city lies north of Minneapolis beside the Coon Rapids Dam, built in the early 20th century to generate electricity. Today, Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park opens this engineered reach of the river to walkers and cyclists, with a pedestrian crossing over the water. In Anoka County and the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Coon Rapids combines established residential neighbourhoods with riverbank woodland along the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area.
