Nestled alongside Coon Creek, this two-lane asphalt trail runs between Northdale Boulevard and Coon Rapids Boulevard. The trail mostly travels within the wooded confines of two city parks: Erlander Park and Robinson Park. Other points of interest include the Coon Rapids City Hall, Hamilton Elementary School, Anoka Hennepin Regional High School and Al Flynn Park.
North of the trail, another segment of the same system called the Sand Creek Trail snakes west to Foley Boulevard. For the southern end, there are plans to eventually connect the Coon Creek trail to the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park and the Mississippi River Trail. At present, you can use sidewalks to close the gap.
There is parking behind Anoka Hennepin Regional High School near the baseball field. The school's address is 1313 Coon Rapids Blvd NW, Coon Rapids.
Seclusion from the city. Runs along coon creek and through the woods most of the way. You spend about 4 minutes on the actual road. This will be a frequent bike path for me!
