Cenaiko lake (coon rapids dam)

[fishingtime13]

Im going to cenaiko lake tomorrow morning. Ive been there once before but got there mid day so didn't have the following issue.

 

Is there a way to get there before 6am when the coon rapids dam park opens?

im guessing before the  park opens there is a gate at the enterance?

I want to get there around 430-5 so I don't miss the prime fishing time, being it opens at 6 that's a good amount of prime time wasted.

 

So my question, has anyone gone there (or the coon rapids dam park itself) before it opens at 6?

if so, how do u get in? I don't want to have to walk from the side streets all the way to the lake.

or is there a place to park closer to the lake outside the park area?

 

EDIT: It is okay to fish the lake before the park opens, there is a sign at the lake saying fishing is 1 hour before sunup until 11pm.
