The main river channel opened sending huge rectagular sheets of ice down river and into the dam at Coon Rapids Dam. This photo was taken standing on the walkway above the dam looking upriver. Champlin is on the left bank, Coon Rapids is on the right bank, Anoka is further upriver around the bend.
Rectangle Ice slowly flowing down river. This sheet is hung up at the dam. Precision 90 degree angles and straight edges. How is this possible with ice?

The Mill Pond above the falls, is fed upstream by Elm Creek. This outlfow flows down to meet the Mississippi River. Above the falls is the West River Road a part of the scenic Great River Road that follows the Mississippi River down to the Gulf of Mexico. For more info:
