About this adventure

Anoka County Parks leads a winter-break snowshoe hike along the Mississippi River at Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park, listed for Wednesday, December 30, 2026, from 1 to 3 p.m. Snowshoes let the group leave the packed trails and explore parts of the riverside park that are hard to reach on foot in winter, so the outing doubles as a nature walk through the floodplain woods near the dam. It is one of the county's teen and adult programs, open to ages 12 and up, which makes it a good fit for families with middle-school and high-school kids who want a first try at snowshoeing. Snowshoes and other equipment are provided and no experience is needed; participants should come dressed for two hours outdoors in the cold, with warm boots and layers. Registration goes through the Anoka County Parks online system, closes two days ahead, and costs $15 per person.
