グランドフォークス郡のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has developed a Hiking Club program that features a trail in each of its 68 state parks and recreational areas (https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/clubs.html). Sometimes the trailhead for these hikes can be tricky to find, so here is the trailhead for the Red River Recreation Area State Park Hiking Club trail. There is a marker with a password somewhere along the length of the trail, but I am not going to reveal that. You have to find it yourself!

During North Dakota's bitter winter months, this building is open to the public as a warming house for visitors to take a break indoors from the chilly temperatures.

The Red River of the North, not to be confused with the Red River of the South that runs through southern states such as Texas and Oklahoma, empties into Lake Winnipeg and ultimately flows into Hudson Bay. The river serves as most of the border between Minnesota and North Dakota.

Turtle River flows for almost 75 miles through Grand Forks Country before meeting with the Red River of the North. These rivers are a part of the watershed of Hudson Bay.

This small waterfall was created when the Civilian Conservation Corps built a dam in the Turtle River in the 1930s during their work at Turtle River State Park. On the north side of Turtle River near the dam, there is a picnic shelter so that visitors can enjoy the sound of the falling water from the falls during a snack break.

Grand Forks is the last city before you cross over into Minnesota. If you go over the bridge, you can cross over state lines.
