A floating dock has been installed in downtown Grand Forks. This dock is designed for launching non-motorized watercraft on a steady footing. Dock users are also spared the mess and inconvenience of walking through the clay-like mud along the riverbank. A paved trail provides a gentle slope to the dock. A  pivoting gangway allows the dock to adjust to fluctuations in river levels.

The dock is located just north of DeMers Avenue. Take River Road to the bottom of the hill. Park your car and take a short walk down the path to the hill. Click here for a map to the dock.

Funding for the dock was provided by the ND Outdoor Heritage Fund and the city of Grand Forks.

Anglers will find ample area for casting their line and trying their luck from the fishing area.

The dock features a transfer platform for safe, easy, stable access to and from the water. The ADA accessible floating launch dock and gangway allows paddlers of all ages and abilities to access the water safely.
