The 5,500-acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve is one of the largest in the seven-county metropolitan area and contains some of the most significant native wildlife habitat and water resources in the regional area.

The park offers a wide variety of amenities, including the Wargo Nature Center, Chomonix Golf Course, Rice Creek Campground, and Centerville Lake Beach. Other amenities include picnic areas, boat launch facilities, biking and hiking trails, playgrounds and a fishing pier. A unique partnership with the YMCA Day Camp Heritage offers another day camp opportunity for the community.

The Anoka County Parks Department is in the process of exploring the addition of single-track mountain bike trails to Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve. While still in the planning phase, the proposed trail system would be a total of roughly 7-9 miles of single-track trails in 5 separate nodes within the park. The project would be completed in two phases over the course of a few years.
