This Riverside City Park In North Dakota Will Whisk You Away Into Nature

You don't need to go way out into the boonies to be able to enjoy nature. Even in North Dakota's most dense city there are spots just begging to be explored. This place is so much more than a city park; it almost feels like you've been whisked away into a nature park far from any urban environment. In actuality, it's right in the middle of one, and conveniently close to everything else while still feeling secluded.

Fargo, North Dakota is the biggest city in the state. With a dense downtown area and sprawling suburbs around it, plus Moorhead just across the river, you might not expect a large nature park to be hiding right in the middle of it all.

Find yourself whisked away into nature right in Lindenwood Park. It is the biggest multi-use park in the entire city.

It is located right on the scenic Red River and surrounded by trees. You can find trails going through the forests that are great for a stroll, jog, or biking.

The park has many amenities that are great for any outing. Beautiful walkways and fountains are among the picnic shelters, playgrounds, and even campsites.

In the spring and summer the park is kept well-groomed and gorgeous, with plenty of flowers growing along the paved drive and trails.

Take hikes or bike rides along the trails and over the water on this bridge in Lindenwood Park.

You can even take full advantage of the outdoor activities with a paddle down the Red River or a night under the stars. Even if you don't have a boat of your own, the park offers rentals.

Lindenwood Park is perfect if you live in Fargo and need a quick getaway into the peace and quiet of a natural setting. Even if you are just passing through the city, it's easy to access it right off of I-94.

Throughout the spring, summer, and fall, this park serves as a wonderful place to just enjoy nature without having to go far to get to it.
