About Forest River

Tucked along the winding river that gives the town its name, Forest River offers a quiet, easygoing pace in Walsh County. Founded in the late 1880s as a prairie railroad stop, the community is surrounded by rich farmland, with historic touches like its 1919 brick bank still standing today. It is a peaceful, close-knit spot for anyone drawn to wide-open skies and small-town North Dakota living, while keeping larger hubs like Grafton and Grand Forks within a short drive.
