Lake Region Guide

WELCOME TO THE LAKE REGION While the Lake Region has traditionally been considered the top waterfowl hunting area in North Dakota, it has developed in recent years into one of the most outstanding year-around recreation centers in the North Central region of the United States.

This increased recreation interest has been brought up by the higher water level of Devils Lake, which rose steadily from the 1970s to the 2000s. Throughout the past five years, the lake level has lowered because the state’s outlets located on the west end and the east end of Devils Lake have worked off and on to make it so. The level in the main lake is currently at 50 feet, and the shoreline has expanded to create excellent spawning conditions.

Fishing, both summer and winter, is among the best in North Dakota, with such species as northern pike, walleyes, muskies, bluegills, perch and white bass abounding in the waters of Devils Lake, thanks to the stocking efforts of the North Dakota Game & Fish Department in recent years.

Boating, regattas, camping and other outdoor activities all contribute to making the Lake Region the top recreation area that it is.

Several other lakes in the area, such as Page 6

Lake Region Guide

Wood Lake, Cavanaugh Lake and Stump Lake, as well as the very east end of Devils Lake, also offer good fishing and boating activity with several campgrounds and bait shops to accommodate visitors.

If you prefer to spend your time in Lake Region indoors, spend a weekend at Spirit Lake Casino, for gaming, lodging and great food at The View. Or wander around downtown and take in the history tour, grab lunch at one of the restaurants and do some shopping.

Take some time to explore the Lake Region this summer, and you’ll bring home a cooler of fish and an abundance of memories!

PEMBINA HILLS, COTEAUS AND PRAIRIES There are many ways to enjoy the Pembina Hills, which is really a gorge carved by the Pembina River. More and more people have been planning a trip through the area on their way to the Peace Garden or elsewhere.

The area is a very scenic contrast to the fertile plains east, north and south bordering the hills.

The meandering Pembina River attracts canoeing enthusiasts to its secluded landscape. Hikers enjoy many of the pathways leading to the river and a favorite fishing spot. Horseback riders also enjoy the scenic terrain.

If country life and small town hospitality are to your liking, you’ll find it right here.

Many summer and fall activities take place in the New Rockford, Carrington and Harvey areas, as well as east of Devils Lake in the Lakota, Tolna, McVille, Park River, Cavalier, Grafton, Walhalla and Langdon areas.

Hunting, fishing, camping and canoeing provide plenty of fun in the summer and fall.

The festivities provide a pleasant change of pace to the every day rat race, as well as the

recreational opportunities.

An increasing number of recreational interests are found throughout the year.

Sightseers enjoy the views, especially in the fall when trees are painted many different colors. Hunting is among the best in North Dakota. Wild turkeys, grouse, waterfowl, moose, deer and elk have found the Pembina Valley a haven. Some of the best moose and elk hunting in North Dakota exists right here in this virtually unexplored wilderness.

Another favorite time of the year is winter.

Carved into the heavily wooded Pembina Hills is an excellent area for downhill skiing.

And if downhill skiing isn’t your cup of tea, try the area’s cross-country ski trails, which are ideally suited to explore snow covered hills.

Snowmobilers find this an exciting vacation spot. State snowmobile trails give riders a scenic view few others have seen, not to mention a challenging ride.

No wonder they call it the “Valley of the Gods.” There’s something for everyone, in any season!

DEVILS LAKE SHORELINE PUBLIC FISHING PIERS The residents and officials in Devils Lake continue to impress anglers with all they do and make fishing vacations special. From modern, indoor, free fish cleaning stations and numerous convenient launch sites to first-class lodging and dining facilities, Suzie Kenner, Tourism Director said, “Our goal is that we aim to please.”

The lake adjacent to the city is famous for walleyes, perch, northern pike and white bass. Fishermen travel from nearly every state and Canada for the world-class fishing.

Many trailer their boats; thousands fish with the award-winning guides; others fish from shore. “Devils Lake is known for the miles and miles of shoreline fishing opportunities,” Kenner said.

Shoreline fishing spots have expanded even more with the construction of four new public fishing piers. They have been designed to give the elderly and mobilityimpaired anglers top priority. Wheelchair ramps create a gentle slope and easy access to the piers.

These piers are located at very good fishing locations, including Channel A, which has been a traditional magnet for shore anglers for decades. The incoming snow-melt runoff feeds Devils Lake at this location, drawing pike and walleyes by the tens-of-thousands.

Directions to the four public fishing piers from the city follow:

Page 10

Lake Region Guide

CHANNEL A: Drive 8 miles west on Highway 2. Turn right (north) on 75th Ave NE for one mile. At 54th St. NE, turn right (east) for about two miles to the 8 x 36 foot pier. Channel A pier has been in use since the ice departed. Water flows into the main lake from the upper lakes via this channel.

PIKE PLAYGROUND AND FISHING PIER: Just east of Walmart, turn south on Elks Dr. for one-quarter mile. Take the first left towards the pump station and dike, and drive to the 8 x 40 foot pier.

HENEGAR LANDING: Drive one mile west on Highway 19. Turn left on Walleye Dr. for one mile to the 8 x 40 foot pier. A few construction details are being finalized with completion in July.

LAKEWOOD BEACH (CREEL BAY): 3 miles south of Devils Lake on Highway 20 to 45th St, then 2 miles west on Burke Blvd, and .5 miles north to Lakewood Park. Paved access road.

Anglers fishing from the piers are encouraged to share their photos with Devils Lake Tourism. They will be posted to the website: devilslakend.com. This is also the site for more information about water levels, ramps, fishing reports, community activities, guides, lodging, dining, casino, and resorts.

DAKOTA REGIONAL CENTER FOR THE ARTS LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS JULY 8 - AUGUST 9 A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&Bsinging carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!

LAST FIVE YEARS OCTOBER 1 - OCTOBER 11 Starring our very own Elliott Schwab and Madelyn Claire Lego in the Drama Desk award-winner The Last Five Years, Jason Robert Brown’s intimate window into a couple’s marriage. Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, are 20-somethings in New York who meet, fall in love, marry,

and divorce over the span of five years.

Cathy tells the story from the end of their marriage; Jamie begins from when they first meet. As the musical unfolds, Cathy moves backward in time to the beginning of the relationship as Jamie moves toward the end; they meet only once, in the middle, at their wedding. Since its Off-Broadway premiere in 2002, Brown’s funny, poignant, and devastatingly honest two-person production has enraptured audiences around the world with its spellbinding and emotional score and libretto.

WINTER WONDERETTES NOVEMBER 12 - DECEMBER 13 This seasonal celebration finds the girls entertaining at the annual Harper’s Hardware Holiday Party. When Santa turns up missing, the girls use their talent and creative ingenuity to save the holiday party!

CITY OF RUGBY Welcome from the Geographical Center of North America! Located at the junction of U.S. Hwy. 2 and N.D. Hwy. 3, Rugby is also the most direct route to the International Peace Garden and the beautiful Turtle Mountains.

When you visit Rugby, you’ll find a number of interesting things to see and do. The Northern Lights Tower is its newest addition.

The tower is on the south side of U.S. Hwy. 2, in front of the Prairie Village Museum.

Made of 10 tinted steel beams almost 90 feet tall, coated with multicolored shades of metallic paint and featuring a lighting system at night, the tower is dedicated to one of the Northern Plains’ most stunning natural phenomena, the spectacular Aurora Borealis. The Interpretive Center is a gazebo housing an interactive kiosk that allows you to view video footage of the northern lights and an informative clip that explains what causes the aurora borealis. You will also find pictures of the northern lights on display by native North Dakotan Jay Brausch. Many brochures for Rugby and the surrounding area are available to pick up at the Northern

Lights Tower Interpretive Center. The center is open May 1 through Sept. 30.

Visitors can commemorate their stop in Rugby by having their picture taken near the monument that officially proclaims Rugby the continent’s geographic center.

Your trip through Rugby won’t be complete without playing the beautiful golf course. If golf isn’t your game, you can shop, dine, worship, relax in one of the motels or campgrounds or visit one of the parks. Go to a movie, bowl, swim, picnic or take a leisurely stroll around the designated walking path.

Check our stock car racing schedule.

Other stops to delight even the seasoned traveler include our unique museums and gift shops, including the Prairie Village Museum, the historic Pierce County Courthouse and the authentically restored Amtrak Train Depot.

So relax and stay a while. If you have any questions, stop by our tourist information booth at the intersection of Hwys. 2 and 3 or call the Rugby Convention and Visitors Bureau at 701-776-5846.

VICTORIAN DRESS MUSEUM

NIEWOEHNER BELL TOWER

Another must see while in Rugby is the Victorian Dress Museum and Boutique, featuring reproductions of women’s garments representing the years 1860 through 1907.

The garments are representative of North Dakota working women, school teachers on the prairie, and affluent woman of fashion.

There are winter clothes, summer dresses, evening gowns, a bathing suit and sports clothing. A good cross-section of all types of tastes and classes of women is shown. The garments are historically correct, based on research in old family albums, books from libraries and other sources that depict fashions of bygone eras.

Dale G. Niewoehner, Niewoehner Funeral Home in Rugby, has changed the skyline of Rugby with the construction of a 30 foot bell tower containing 15 bells at his funeral home. The largest bells, of which there are two, are 40 inches in diameter and weigh about 1,300 pounds each. There are also a 36 inch bell, two 34 inch bells, a 30 inch bell, a 26 inch bell and a 24 inch bell. The balance of the bells are in the 15-22 inch range. There are about 4 tons of bells in the steel tower.

The bells have been purchased from auction sales, private parties, antique shops and churches. At this time, the bells are rung with a simple cable on each bell.

CITY OF CANDO Cando and the surrounding Towner County area have a variety of sports and recreation opportunities that are attractive for visitors and tourists alike.

Cando, self-proclaimed “Duck Capital of North Dakota,” is centrally located in the Prairie Pothole Region of the state. For more than a century, the Towner County area has been a mecca of waterfowl hunting with its natural sloughs and lakes, such as Snyder Lake, Lake Alice, Hurricane Lake and Lake Irwin, with the addition in later years of the man-made reservoirs at Bisbee and Armourdale.

Cando’s location makes it an excellent center for outdoor activities, such as first class fishing, big game and waterfowl hunting, as well as bird watching and nature photography.

The Lake Region Birding Trail connects public lands within the Devils Lake Basin, including Nikolaisen Waterfowl Production Area and Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge in Towner County.

Originally established in 1935 as a

sanctuary for migratory birds, the 11,500-acre Lake Alice National Wildlife Refuge serves as a major waterfowl concentration point during spring and fall migrations, as well as a significant breeding area for wetland wildlife.

Tens of thousands of snow geese, Canada geese, sandhill cranes and ducks use the lake and surrounding lands each year. Lake Alice supports a large colony of Franklin gulls that can be viewed throughout the spring and summer feeding on abundant insects produced in the shallow wetlands. Other colonial nesting birds include rookeries of black-crowned herons, snowy and cattle egrets, and western and eared grebes.

Marsh wrens, Virginia and sora rails, coots, bitterns, and great blue herons are found in the dense stands of bulrush, cattails and phragmites. Thousands of mallards, pintails, blue-winged teal, gadwall, and shoverloers nest on the refuge and resident game birds including Hungarian partridge, ring-necked pheasants and sharp-tailed grouse are benefitted by the grasslands. A mosaic of trees and shrubs provide another habitat

for a variety of warblers, woodpeckers and other songbirds. The diversity of habitat provide for numerous white-tailed deer, an occasional moose, and numerous small mammals like red fox, coyotes, raccoons and muskrats.

The area is home to all the waterfowl species found in the Pothole Region.

Mallards, gadwall and blue-winged teal are the most abundant ducks, with several other species of diving and dabbling ducks common in the area. Giant Canada geese have been reintroduced and are abundant.

Spectacular concentrations of waterfowl can be found each spring and fall. Most notable are the large flocks of snow geese.

Nikolaisen WPA (7 miles north of Cando on US Hwy 281) has a parking area, vault toilet and small overlook. Migrating and breeding waterfowl, shorebirds, wetland birds and upland nesting birds can all be observed, with spring migration, early breeding season and fall waterfowl migration the best time to view.

Cando also offers a 3,000-yard, grassgreen, watered fairway golf course with a driving range and a modern clubhouse, cart rentals and storage with an adjoining campground. The Cando City Park offers a modern swimming pool, two tennis courts, outdoor volleyball and basketball courts, two playground areas, a horseshoe court and three picnic shelters with new barbeque pits.

The campground is located on the northeast edge of Cando.

An indoor All-Seasons Arena provides ice skating activities with the community providing a wide range of hockey activities for young and old alike. The facility is also used for summer indoor activities.

Whether your idea of fun is playing nine holes on our beautiful golf course or attending a musical production at the Audi Theatre, Cando definitely has something to satisfy everyone’s taste.

Cando’s history is on display at the Pioneer Museum, located on Main Street and at the one-room schoolhouse, located on the Towner County Courthouse grounds. The famous Dale & Martha Hawk Museum is located just 30 miles west of Cando.

Agriculture is the primary industry in Towner County. Cando also has several manufacturing facilities, which have added to the economic growth of the area. The Towner County Medical Center is one of the area’s largest employers.

WELCOME TO THE RENDEZVOUS REGION The Rendezvous Region of northeast North Dakota is rich in culture, history, and outdoor recreation opportunities and the counties of Cavalier, Pembina and Walsh are working together to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience. The Rendezvous Region has a variety of niche businesses that provide interesting experiential shopping, activities such as painting, arts and crafts, design, as well as a variety of coffee shops, bakeries, artisans, restaurants and recreation amenities.

The Rendezvous Region offers an amazing array of historical sites which date back 200 years to the days when fur trappers, Native Americans and traders met in the region to buy goods and barter. The annual meetings were called “rendezvous”.

Each city in the region has a legion of local historic characters, buildings and fables to capture the imagination of people of all ages. There are more than 55 geocaches placed throughout the Rendezvous Region and many of them can be found at these historical sites.

One of the best kept secrets in the Rendezvous Region is the Pembina Gorge.

This 12,500-acre area just west of Walhalla, is one of the largest woodlands in the state Page 46

Lake Region Guide

of North Dakota, boasting over 21 different types of animals and 30 plant species, eight of which are indigenous to the Pembina Gorge.

The Gorge offers hunting, fishing, hiking, bird watching, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, OHV trails and cross-country skiing. It is also home to North Dakota’s first and only downhill mountain bike terrain park located at Frost Fire Park.

The summer months are a great time to attend one of the many festivals and events, play a round of 9-hole golf, swim in the numerous lakes and rivers, camp and kayak.

CITY OF WALHALLA Scenic Walhalla, North Dakota, is a picturesque community nestled along the bend of the Pembina River just east of the colorful panorama of the Pembina Gorge, surrounded by hills and valleys. As the second-oldest community in the state, the town has also been blessed with a rich historical heritage.

There are many ways to enjoy the Pembina Hills, which is really a gorge carved by the Pembina River.The Pembina River, located in the northeast corner of North Dakota, is North Dakota’s only real white-water river.

The meandering Pembina River is considered “tame,” but does offer excellent canoeing and kayaking and attracts outdoor enthusiasts to its secluded landscape during the months of May and June. The Pembina River originates near Boissevain, Manitoba, flows southeast and enters the U.S. northeast of Langdon, ND. From the U.S.-Canadian border, it flows southeast to Walhalla and east to the Red River. The area between the border and Walhalla is part of the scenic Pembina Hills and one of the few wilderness areas left in the state. Near Walhalla, the river is considered the best for canoeing/kayaking, as the river flows fairly fast over many small rapids.

Hikers enjoy many of the pathways leading to tempt the nature lover with hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in Tetrault Woods State Forest.

Lake Region Guide

Walhalla has been known as “Elk and Moose Capital of North Dakota” because of the large concentration of elk in the area, moose are in the area but have started to migrate north and west. Wild turkeys, ruffed grouse, waterfowl, blackneck pheasant, moose, deer and elk have found the Pembina Hills a haven. Some of the best elk hunting in North Dakota exists right here in this virtually unexplored wilderness, which makes this area a “sportsman’s paradise.”

Tee off at the Walhalla Country Club, a scenic 9-hole grass green golf course located in the beautiful Pembina Hills. It is common to see a doe and her fawn grazing on the fairway, or an elk in the fields below.

So, if you lose your “ball” you will have no problem finding the natural beauty. The course is complete with a modern club house, two decks and a screened-in-porch, complete restaurant, lounge and banquet facilities. Open seven days a week for your convenience. The Walhalla Country Club also provides accommodations for social events and business conferences. For more information contact 701-549-2357.

On summer weekends, many visitors spend the day shopping in the area, golfing or trekking through the hills. Then they settle in for the evening performance at the Frost Fire Summer Theatre which has captured the heart of summer weekend visitors as they come to enjoy musical theater classic

STUMP LAKE A winding circling road through a mass of green leaved trees will lead you to a restaurant, campground, old-style pavilion and a lake. Historically, Stump Lake has been a shallow basin of water, suitable for birds but not fish. Thanks to Mother Nature, the quality of the lake has changed through an additional 50 plus feet of fresh water, making it a great home for walleye, northern, pike and perch. The North Dakota Game and Fish has released millions of perch into this lake, so it should be a great fishery for years to come.

Once only to look at, Stump Lake is now one of the area’s fastest growing recreational attractions. In 1998, a boat launch and two docks were put in for water sports and swimmers.

In addition to the lake, Stump Lake Park offers a variety of family attractions. The park prides itself on being clean and green with something for everyone. Stump Lake Park boasts a variety of hiking and biking trails and a fun-filled playground that will entertain people of all ages.

There is a full-service campground for both campers and tenters with water and electricity hook-ups and a bathroom facility nearby. Many weekends offer other types of entertainment from dances to softball tournaments, to displays at the nearby Stump Lake Village. The park also has a restaurant and picnic shelter facilities for families and friends to gather and enjoy the summer day.

Come visit Nelson County’s secret oasis!

Disappear for a day, for a weekend or a summer to remember and enjoy the simpler times of life.

STUMP LAKE VILLAGE The journey back in time begins as one enters the stone gates of Stump Lake Park.

It is hard to miss the newest additions to the county park when taking a Sunday drive with all the new buildings. The Nelson County Historical Society has transformed a barren field into a step back in history. The Village is complete with all the traditional elements of a pioneering community; a farmhouse, barn, post office, one-room school, church, cook-car, two log cabins, depot, blacksmith shop and sawmill. The newer additions to the Village are the “Old Main Street USA” exhibit building, which contains many exhibit rooms, gift shop and modern restrooms, flour mill and gazebo. The gazebo was built with funds donated by local residents and will be used for entertainment, weddings, family reunions and other events. An engine building containing many stationary engines in running order was completed in 2018.

Summertime is a wonderful time for NCHS members because it is a time to make history come alive and begin outdoor activities. The summer schedule begins the first Sunday of June and ends with the Threshing Bee on Labor Day weekend (Sunday and Monday).

Spring/Summer 2020

The 14 weeks in between are filled with a variety of activities which include the Nelson County Fair and 4-H exhibition, weddings and church services, traveling exhibits, family reunions, other entertainment and tours of the buildings every Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The annual Threshing Bee is the largest and most anticipated event of the summer.

This two-day event draws hundreds of people to see how harvest was done in days gone by. Each morning begins with a hearty threshermen’s breakfast, and the days are filled with displays of ethnic foods and crafts.

All of the buildings are open for tours. Each afternoon there is a parade of old engines, tractors, cars and much more. Each year there are new activities held during the Threshing Bee, but some of the past events include doll and toy shows, fashion shows, music concerts and theatrical displays by historical characters. There are rides and activities for children to enjoy.

Often it is easy to forget where one came from, so spend a day or more at Stump Lake Village and take the time to remember. A journey back in time will offer both lessons to be learned and a greater appreciation of how our pioneering ancestors struggled to settle this untamed land. Take time out, relax and enjoy this place where time stands still and you can dream a little.

The Village is available for tours every Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the first Sunday of June through Labor Day weekend. Check out our website at www. stumplakepark.com. To schedule reunions, weddings or other events, call Diane Swenson at 701-247-2546. Stump Lake Park and Village is located 12 miles south of Lakota on North Dakota Hwy. 1.

CITY OF COOPERSTOWN Cooperstown is a growing community in the central part of North Dakota, located just 3 miles east of the junction of Hwys. 200 and 1.

Cooperstown Community Activities Authority is the organization which plans and schedules events throughout the year. The schedule of events for this summer can be found on the web at www.cooperstownnd.com. The main events throughout the summer center around retreat activities at the Cooperstown Bible Camp. A week at camp will keep kids busy having fun with both old and new friends. Climb our new 40-foot climbing tower or cross the Sheyenne River using our new adventure bridge! Kids can camp out in a tree house or teepee, ride horse, canoe, swim, shoot bows and arrows, play sand volleyball, basketball, pickleball and more. But most importantly learn about Jesus. Camp starts midJune and runs through the first part of August.

Cooperstown is justly proud of its 9-hole golf course with over 1,000 evergreen trees and expertly cared for fairways and greens. The clubhouse and course offer a full schedule of activities and tournaments throughout the golfing season.

Other leisure-time opportunities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, softball diamonds, horse arena, indoor and outdoor rifle/archery ranges and fitness center.

Within 30 minutes are two lakes and the Sheyenne River. Red Willow Lake has good fishing for northern pike, perch and blue gills, along with boating and water-skiing opportunities.

Red Willow Lake Resort provides camping, roller skating, picnicking, dining, dances and softball games. Lake Ashtabula is a man-made lake which provides several excellent camping facilities, dining, fishing, water-skiing, public boat ramps, boat rental, picnicking and opportunities to observe nature. If the time is right, you can even pick chokecherries, juneberries and plums.

Hunters come from great distances to hunt deer near Cooperstown. Also abundant are upland game and waterfowl. Hwy. 200 is also part of the cross-country bike route.

RONALD REAGAN MINUTEMAN MISSILE STATE HISTORIC SITE

Cooperstown is proud to be home to the Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site, also known as Oscar Zero and the Northern Plains Cold War Interpretive Center. Oscar Zero and November 33 are the last remnants of the 321st Missile Wing. These two facilities played an integral role in the Cold War. Go inside the control facility and view the launch silo.

According to the SHSND, Visitors to Oscar-Zero will be given a guided tour of topside facilities and will learn how the facility managers, security forces, maintenance teams and cooks lived their daily lives at the MAF. Guests may also choose to be guided down the elevator shaft to the underground Launch Control Equipment Building and Launch Control Center, where they will see firsthand the front lines of the United States’ strategy of nuclear deterrence. They will be able to step behind the concrete blast door and witness the equipment that could have been used by the missile crews to launch nuclear missiles. At November-33 visitors will see the topside of a launch facility, including the massive launch closure door which once protected a missile, an imposing security fence, the electronic security system, and the ventilation systems that served the underground equipment buildings.

The topside appears exactly as it did during its existence as an active launch facility.

Directions: Oscar-Zero is four miles north of Cooperstown on Highway 45, and November-33 is two miles east of Cooperstown on Hwy. 200.

KELLY SLOUGH NWR Kellys Slough National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) was established to develop and manage a system of wetlands and grasslands that is unique to the Red River Valley. The refuge supports a diversity of wetland and grassland wildlife, while providing for wildlife-dependent recreation, interpretation, and education.

Kellys Slough NWR is located in the heart of the Red River Valley. The refuge contains an intermittent stream that flows into the Turtle River, a tributary of the Red River.

Kellys Slough NWR is considered an excellent area to view migratory and breeding waterbirds. Twelve species of ducks have been found nesting on the refuge. Giant Canada geese and a variety of shorebirds are also common on the refuge and surrounding lands. The refuge staff manage eight wetland management pools, comprising 936 acres on the refuge and adjacent WPAs. The remaining uplands are predominately grasslands.

Kellys Slough NWR covers portions of Blooming, Lakeville and Rye townships of Grand Forks County. The main parking area is 8 miles west and 3 miles north of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Signs on U.S. Highway 2 direct visitors to the refuge, where there is a parking area, an elevated viewing platform, several informational signs and two walking trails.

For more information, call 701-662-8611, e-mail devilslake@fws.gov or visit their website at http://fws.gov/refuge/kellys_ slough. Refuge headquarters are located at 221 2nd St. West, Devils Lake, ND.
