the greenway GRAND FORKS EAST GRAND FORKS It's been 25 years since the idea to include a greenway in the flood protection system was born, and it's hard to imagine life before The Greenway. Built to manage water during a flood, The Greenway also provides an outdoor recreational opportunity for the Greater Grand Forks area. This award-winning facility doesn't just provide flood protection; it connects our communities, both literally and figuratively. The Greenway encompasses approximately 2,200 acres of natural space and is open to the public year-round, except during flooding. Visitors can enjoy almost 20 miles of paved trails, golf courses, boat ramps, campground, disc golf, sledding, skiing, and so much more, right in the heart of the city! www.greenwayggf.com www.facebook.com/greenwayggf www.twitter.com/greenwayggf VISION STATEMENT The Red and Red Lake Rivers Greenway will protect residents of Grand Forks and East Grand Forks from flooding, provide opportunities for economic growth, improve and restore ecological stability of the river corridor, link residents and tourists to four seasons of recreation and transportation facilities, provide linkage between the cities, preserve and promote the history and culture of the region through education, and improve the quality of life for future generations.
