Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Turtle River State Park is located 22 miles west of Grand Forks in a scenic wooded valley along the banks of the Turtle River. You can come and spend the day enjoying a variety of outdoor activities, including picnics, hiking, and mountain biking.

The dam is stocked with trout and younger visitors can borrow equipment at the park office. In winter, you can try cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. If you would like to stay for a few days, you can book a rustic cabin (outdoor cooking only) and there is also a large dormitory-style chalet that can sleep groups of up to 40 people.
