Turtle River State Park, established in 1934, is in the scenic Turtle River Valley just 2 miles north of Arvilla, North Dakota and approximately 22 miles west of Grand Forks.

Covering over 775 acres, Turtle River State Park offers a wide range of recreational opportunities including hiking, biking, birding, trout fishing, snow shoeing and cross-country skiing. The park is known for its wooded river bottom habitat, rolling hills, and scenic vistas.

The park features more than 14 miles of multi-use trails, rental cabins, a modern group lodge, a CCC-era stone bathhouse, 71 modern and 26 primitive campsites, as well as group camping areas. The park's historic structures, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, add a unique charm and a tangible connection to its rich history.
