The Fargo Park District's goal for our trail system is to provide safe and enjoyable trails for bicycle riders, walkers, runners, and in-line skaters. There are over 90 miles of scenic paths in the Fargo park system.

The Fargo Park District's recreational trail system also has four bridges complementing the recreational trails. Three bridges connect the Fargo and Moorhead park systems over the Red River at Oak Grove, Lindenwood Park and Dike East. The bridges at Oak Grove and Lindenwood are typically in use June-February, weather permitting. The bridge at Dike East is typically in use June-October, weather permitting. The fourth bridge is over the Sheyenne River near Osgood and is open year round.

The Fargo Park District and The City of Fargo with the help of The Metropolitan Council of Governments are always looking for new trail connections throughout the City of Fargo. We look forward to new trail construction and appreciate any comments. If you notice any hazards on Fargo's recreational trails, please contact the Fargo Park District at 499-6060.
