The Fargo Mickelson/Tricorn Bike Path begins on north end of Fargo, east of the North Dakota State University campus, and heads south along the west bank of the Red River to its end near Lindenwood Park.
Trails also follow the east bank of Red River in Minnesota, running through and around Viking Ship Park and Riverfront Park.

We really enjoyed riding along this gem of a trail in Fargo, ND. The majority of the trail follows the Red River of the North through a series of parks and is really quite scenic. And my dad got to join the #SaveTheBestForLast club when visiting North Dakota as his 50th state. For more details, check out our YouTube video: https://youtu.be/QIS_4B_8Jg8?si=U1gaRzb3BbdFfMqC.
We rode the Fargo Trail last Sunday. The trail was easy to access from I 94, and there were clean bathrooms at the park at the south end of the trail.
Enjoyed the meandering ride by the river and loved the variety of bridges across the Red River joining Fargo with Moorhead, MN. The trail was paved and overall in pretty good shape.
All in all, a good day.
If you want a long walk, a nice bicycle ride or practice for hiking, this trail is a very good choice! There's lots of beautiful foliage, signs describing the local ecosystem and plenty of benches you can rest at.
