Nice location not far from Moorehead and Fargo. Great place to spend a night or 2. Handicap showers and bathrooms. Electric only. Portable water fill at entry also dump station. Park Rangers keep the park very clean. Firewood $6.00 a bundle. Oh yes, picnic tables as well as fireplace with attached grill.

Beautiful, long paths along the river and an open prairie. Lots of wildlife. I bring my dog, it’s great.

Our family lives hiking here. Good place to spot wildlife, good mix of forest, meadows, and river bones. Clearly marked trails.

Beautiful state park. I wish they would bring back the man made pool though. Lots of nice trails, great scenery, and very nice people at the park. My family and I were there to celebrate a birthday. It was perfect fall weather. I would recommend anyone a visit to Buffalo River state park.
