    Tips

    February 9, 2023

    The Coon Rapids Dam was built in 1913 by Northern States Power for hydropower generation. In 1966 Northern States Power donated the dam and surrounding property to Hennepin County Park Reserve District. Foot and bicycle traffic are allowed across the dam. The dam also serves the valuable purpose of serving as a barrier to the migration of exotic fish species into the Headwaters section of the Mississippi River.
