Down along the river just below the Damn on Silver Lake I believe I remember a good deal of rip rap rocks. Haven't been there in a while though but I'd start the search there.

Grey Cloud Island, I live in St. Paul Park and go down to Grey Cloud all the time it's only about 1.5 miles from my house.I have a stock AX-10 and it's really challenging. If you need more info feel free to call me Ron 651-458-0658.

TomEGunn · 07-15-2009, 02:08 PM

been running down there once in a while , would be great for scalers and maybe 1.9's not real tough for 2.2,but fun and practice is always good

just off Hanson and Coon rapids blvd. head south on hanson to mississippi and go right about 4 blocks ,stop on curve and look for trails on left. you can park right on the streat and walk in. take trail about 50 feet and then walk through grass to the right to the creek bed kind of steep giong down to rocks , be careful

a couple pics:

the oics would probibly be better without the rig in them , but there my pics so too bad

From hwy 94 take hwy 61 south to Lower Afton road. Take a left(East), then your first left(North) onto the frontage road (Point Douglas Road). Go to the end of the road and there is a park on the right hand side.

Like I said, it's not much, but since your not too far away it's worth checking out.

Im not far away from that place so I swung by today. Not much to crawl on at all. The only rock there is the big ledge that You can see from 61. The rest is sand and grass.

Ended up going to the crappy crawl spot by My house to test the new rig.
On a positive note the new rig worked well!

Head west of Valleyfair on 101 about two miles to Memorial Park, its on the right. Park at the west end of the parking lot. To the west, still, you will see a bridge. Go under it and all around it. Under the bridge is a bunch of rock that was covered with concrete. It has great traction and some challenging aspects but definitely a lot of fun. Also there is a section of larger rock that is much more challenging but gets full of weeds in the middle of the summer. One of my favorite spots around! Will try to get some pics up soon.

A couple pics of my favorite spot to crawl:

bogger67 · 12-23-2009, 07:25 PM

that spot looks similuar to the rocks under a bridge in lino lakes. it is off of peltier lake. real fun time

infantryoif · 01-17-2010, 04:58 PM

Tried a new spot today that turned out great:

under the south end of the cedar ave bridge that crosses the mn river in bloomington.

i'll be sure to take the camera along next time so i can post some pics

greaser · 01-20-2010, 06:16 PM

some great looking spots guys. i got my rs10 today now i just have to wait untill thaw and ill get some pics of the spots i have eyed up.

scalerz · 01-22-2010, 01:30 AM

I wasn't into crawling when I lived in MN but one of my favorite places was Gooseberry Falls State Park. I would love to crawl there now, but I live in OR now and lovin every minute of it! Jaydog I lived in Sauk Rapids area for good number of years and I think thats under the new bridge, if it is go north on the service road on the east side of the river to the next bridge might be some good stuff up there. Also do you know if Randy Reiman is open in Milaca or not? If he is tell him that Chad said hi, if you go there anyway. (Chad, Kevin's friend from Bock) Quarry Park out in Waite Park might be fun as well!

if he had a little hobby shop by 169 and 23, by the hardees , it was closed up about a month ago. I didn't know there was one there until I stopped for breakfast once ,notice it as I was pulling out of the lot.
