After Fargo, Grand Forks was my next destination and they had a nice city park with a disc golf course, but I decided to just walk on the trails instead. It was also against the Red River and there were many visible signs that flooding had occurred.
The next day I visited Turtle River State park. It was a bit farther west so trees were starting to become a rare sight as I headed into the plains, but this park was a small oasis of trees in a desert of grass and farm fields.
I hiked here and looked at all the wildlife for a few hours. Along the way I caught a little friend on the edge of the turtle river. A Wood Frog.
Other wildlife included a little Red Squirrel, a Whitetail Doe and even a Wild Turkey.
Later that day I drove to Devil's Lake. On the way I passed by some cool windmills. They were pretty big.
When I got to Devil's lake I decided to go to Sulley's Hill Game Preserve. It was on the other side of the lake so I got to drive across the bridge and get some nice lake pix.
Right at the entrance of the preserve there were a herd of Bison along the roadside and some even in the road.
Next, I actually climbed to the top of Sulley's Hill inside the preserve.
I took way more pictures than what I'm posting, but this is taking a super long time to upload all of them so I'll post just the highlights. Like a bull elk just starting to grow it's antlers.
And that was the game preserve. The next day I traveled to J Clark Salyer Nature Preserve in North Central North Dakota to try to find deer antlers and maybe even a moose antler.
