Turtle River State Park

Trails and picnic settings provide a contrast with the surrounding open country, with seasonal opportunities for walking, cycling and winter recreation.

Use the current park map to choose a route suited to conditions and your activity. Winter trail designations distinguish different uses, so follow posted instructions rather than treating every groomed route alike. Camping and organized programs require separate arrangements. The park is a regional outing from Grand Forks, not a downtown stop; plan transport and supplies accordingly.
