Kost Dam County Park is a hidden gem that's a drive from the more popular parks of along Highway 8. It's worth the drive though! They have beautiful views of the Sunrise River, a pavilion, picnic tables, BBQs, a playground, and plenty of fishing access. The park is well maintained and manicured. We loved it!
Went for paddle boarding. I prefer no wake, very quiet water trails. Stayed above the dam, didn't want to get stuck in shallow water farther down from the dam. The lake was beautiful, not covered in weeds but there are patches. The waterway was deep enough for a board with a fin. Was able to go about a mile out before hitting a dead end with a downed tree. Lots of green and blue herons and tiny little fish.
Love this place, been coming here since I was young and a little on the rustic side, but a great place to have a little gathering or just hanging with the kids. There are hiking trails, fishing, the dam is cool, usually some wildlife, tables for eating, a little park and also has rustic bathrooms.
I have fished both above and below the dam. Below is much more fun. Many of us tree-huggers are all about taking out dams. I think this needs to stay. Almost 30 miles of wetlands rely on this dam to support waterfowl and other animals. I would like to see better fish ladders. There are no trout in the Sunrise River. They 100% stop at the Kost Dam. Search reports from Chisago, Anoka and Washington Counties for Fecal Coliform and other toxicity for the Sunrise before eating fish or swimming. I wish fish ladders were installed along any branches of the Sunrise River and toxicity was mediated. This dam provides thousands of acres of wetlands for waterfowl. Almost offsetting the draining of the lake East of Harris Minnesota.
I grew up near here and have always enjoyed the park. You can fish below the dam and y even catch a walleye (small). As a kid we caught alot of bullheads. If you put a boat in above the dam and head up the Sunrise river you can catch northern pike. The park has only gotten better over the years.
Clean and well kept. Caught two pike on the top dam from my kayak, a little too weedy for my preference, but still fun
Parking on either side of the bridge. Restrooms on south side of dam. Playground for the kids. Picnic tables and grills accessible. Good fishing in the lake behind the dam
This park is a hidden GEM 💎 in Chisago County. Beautiful to fish or picnic. No trails for hiking and no playground. Small picnic pavilion.

Great little place with atmosphere. We had a company Christmas party here with wine tasting. The Cherry bomb is a perfect dessert wine to pair with cheese cake! Creative gifts galore.
Great food, very fast, very affordable, kind service. ð I bought the beef and broccoli entree and cashew chicken entree to go. Each came with a lot of fried rice and an eggroll. Would definitely recommend! Portions large enough to fill you up, and

Been here a few times now and what can I say, it's a perfect staple Mexican restaurant. Food isn't innovative, but it's properly prepared and delicious. Has a decent sized seafood menu that I haven't tried because I have doubts that they move much of
