Orchard Glen Park - Fargo ND

Beautiful ecological park on an oxbow bend of the Red River on the south end of Fargo. An old orchard makes up some of the park but the vast majority of the park is being restored back to its native vegetation. A large riparian forest is found along the banks of the Red River. A beautiful unpaved trail takes you through the forest. A paved trail allows you to see the old orchard that was is found on the higher elevation and center of the park.

Very nice park, very quiet, shady and quite a bit of wildlife. Early morning you can usually see deer, wild turkeys, frogs. Squirrels and sometimes a few snakes.

Was a nice little trail loop through the woods along the river with portions of it under the open sky. Didn't go have any but the apple trees are cool and hopefully too many people don't show up to fill multiple bags with apples and in doing so keep others from also being able to enjoy them while out for a walk. I did it for an exercise walk so did not walk too much around the middle where all the apples trees were but looked like it would be a nice place to go relax in the sun. The bugs weren't bad at all while I was out even in the woods. Will definitely go out there again for some nice quick hikes without needing to go too far from town.

Orchard Glen Park is located beside the red river that is on the border of North Dakota and Minnesota. And the spring day or chart blooms in fragrant flowers, and in fall season it has beautiful colors. The walking trail moves along the river forest and has magnificent views of the river and the river bank. the winding river offers many opportunities to see the landscape from different viewpoints

Great place to walk, picnic (rustic), and get professional photos done. Year round there's a path and it takes about 25-35 mins to walk the entire trail. You can launch a kayak near the parking lot, or drive down the road south a little further and launch from River Park kayak launch. In the summer the trail is very nicely manicured; in the spring the flowers are amazing; and there's apples in the fall :)
