    The Coon Rapids Dam sits on the Mississippi River between Brooklyn Park and Coon Rapids. The dam was built by Northern States Power Company in 1913–1914 for hydropower, operating until 1966. Today, visitors can explore the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, open from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm, with the Visitor Center open Monday through Friday based on staff availability and on weekends from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The park offers activities like fishing at Cenaiko Lake, picnic pavilions, a boat launch, snowshoe rentals, and trails for biking, walking, and running. Seasonal concerts are every Thursday night at 7:00 pm during warm seasons. Enjoy the natural side of the park too like edible wild onions, blood root, and wildlife like ospreys, peregrine falcons, carp, and minks.
