Coon Lake County Park - Regional Park Application

Anoka County is applying to add Coon Lake County Park to the regional system. Coon Lake offers diverse nature-based resources, including Coon Lake (a 1500-acre recreation and fishing lake), wetlands, prairie, and woodlands. Other amenities of the park such as the beach, boat launch, and picnic areas, attract regional visitors throughout the northwest section of Anoka, Washington, Chisago, and Isanti Counties.By changing the designation, the Park benefits by becoming eligible for additional park improvement grant funds, furthering the protection of the Parks natural resources and status, and providing the Park with opportunities for future expansion.

Rice Creek North Regional Trail

Rice Creek North Regional Trail is a 10-foot wide, eight (8) mile long paved trail that follows Rice Creek through the south-east quadrant of the county. It provides a connection between Anoka and Ramsey counties and connects the Cities of Blaine, Circle Pines, and Lino Lakes. The trail also connects to the East Anoka County Regional Trail, Bunker Chain of Lakes Regional Trail, and the Rice Creek Regional Trail system in Ramsey County. Anoka County is updating the master plan for the trail and is seeking public input regarding options to complete the trail between Golden Lake Elementary and Baldwin Park in the City of Circle Pines. Concepts have been developed. Please provide any input or feedback regarding the options.
