Did you know that one of North Dakota’s biggest cities has a huge park that’s more than twice the size of New York City’s Central Park? Located right along the Red River, the Greenway of Greater Grand Forks is the perfect place for the residents of Grand Forks, North Dakota, and East Grand Forks, Minnesota to enjoy miles upon miles of trails, golf courses, playgrounds, and more. The fun doesn’t stop when the temperatures drop and the ground becomes covered in snow – you can visit this unique park in North Dakota any time of the year!
The beautiful Greenway of Greater Grand Forks: a park with more than 20 miles of trails designated by the National Park Service, two golf courses, a campground, views of the Red River, and the downtown areas Grand Forks and East Grand Forks.
Needless to say, this park is impressive and popular for a reason. It's teeming with people in the summer, but when the green of the Greenway is covered in snow, the fun doesn't stop...
More than 2,000 acres of riverside beauty is accessible in the winter. The sights are just as stunning as in the summer, if not more beautiful when the snow and ice adds a bit of an enchanting element to it all.
Spend the day trekking through the snow or even bring sleds for a classic winter activity. The best sledding hill in the Greenway is just south of Lincoln Drive Park.
