Mississippi Gateway Regional Park-Brooklyn Park-Minnesota

Today’s hiking adventure was at Mississippi Gateway Regional Park.

Our hike began at the newly built Treetop Trail.

The Treetop Trail was about .25 of a mile.

We followed the trail under the walkway. A few turkeys stopped for a visit.

Coon Rapids Dam

I always enjoy walking across the dam. One side of the bridge, the Mississippi River is smooth as glass and on the other side the water is thrashing through the dam.

We continued hiking the trail on the Coon Rapids side of the dam.

This is a magical tree. I might have to stop back for a visit once the fall colors are vibrant.

We looped back towards our starting point.

Today’s hiking adventure was 5 miles.
