AREA HIKING TRAIL FUN Combine exercise and outdoors By KIM FUNDINGSLAND
Outdoors/Staff Writer kfundingsland@minotdailynews.com ith the winter season in the rear view mirror thoughts quite naturally turn to spending quality time outdoors, which often takes the form of exercise. Utilizing an area hiking trail is an ideal way to accomplish both. There is no shortage of hiking trails in and around the Minot area, within and outside the city limits. Also, there’s a darn good selection, whether your preference be scenery or wildlife, level or challenging terrain. Here’s a few hiking trails worth stepping on.
W
Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge Trails
Five hiking trails of various lengths and configurations can be found at the Upper Souris NWR northwest of Minot. One of them, the Oxbow Nature Trail located at the Outlet Fishing Area below Lake Darling Dam, is an excellent choice for casual or serious hikers with a keen interest in the outdoors. Visitors can choose from a half-mile or full mile trail through prime river bottom habitat along the Souris River. Sights include woodlands, grassland edges, and a river oxbow. Interpretive signs are placed along the trail to enhance the experience. Another wonderful hike, just a 1/2 mile long, at Upper Souris NWR is the Pelican Nature Trail with its trailhead located at the start of the refuge’s Prairie-Marsh Scenic Drive. Pelicans, geese, a variety of ducks, muskrat, mink and more are often encountered on this trail that begins on the grassland and quickly enters wooded bottomland along the Souris River. A special attraction is a photography blind at the end of the trail where the hiker can sit and observe wildlife from a secluded hiding place. If a bit more challenging terrain is to your liking then the Overlook Nature Trail and Cottonwood Nature Trail are good choices. Both involve some hill climbing and spectacular views of the river bottom. After traversing a mowed grass trail a hiker can take a seat on a bench and absorb a splendid view. The Cottonwood Nature Trail is one of the stops on the Prairie-Marsh Scenic Drive. The trailhead is located near a large stand of towering cottonwood trees planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps during construction of the refuge in the late 1930’s. There are two loops that comprise the Cottonwood Trail, both of which are mowed for identification and ease of walking. One loop is a half-mile long and features an scenic overlook and bench. The second loop is one mile long and winds through a coulee and surrounding ridges. At the north end of Upper Souris NWR, at Mouse River Park, is the Centennial Wildlife Nature Trail. It is a mowed grass trail that meanders through grasslands and meadows for approximately two miles.

Minot Parks Woodland Trail has become increasingly popular with Minot residents wishing to step into a nearby outdoors environment. The trail crosses Souris River loops at two locations.
Minot Parks Woodland Trail
Located on Minot’s southwest edge, south of the Jack Hoeven Baseball Complex and Bark Park, is the Woodland Trail. One of the newest parks in the Minot Parks system, it features an improved parking lot and a comfort station. Several trails are located inside the wooded park, making it easy for a person to walk a little or a lot. In all, there is slightly more than 1.4 miles of trail to cover if the longest trek is chosen. There are two bridge crossings of a Souris River loop along the Woodland Trail, which add to the experience. The tall trees and shrubbery are also home to a variety of birds, making the Woodland Trail an ideal spot for bird watchers and photographers. Additionally, the pathways in the park are almost flat with very little climbing or descending which makes the Woodland Trail a good choice for the casual hiker.

Tall trees along the river bottom are featured throughout the Woodland Trail. The City Park is located south of the Bark Park on Minot’s southwest edge.
More area hiking trails
Additional hiking trails can be found below the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery, at Tasker’s Coulee on the Des Lacs NWR near Kenmare, and the Sandhills Walk at J. Clark NWR. Also, not to be overlooked are sections of the North Country Trail and Audubon NWR and Lake Sakakawea State Park at Pick City. Several trails are also available to the public at Fort Stevenson State Park south of Garrison.

DENBIGH FOREST WORTH THE VISIT

Outdoors/Staff Writer kfundingsland@minotdailynews.com DENBIGH – A forest on the plain of North Dakota? Yes sir. Believe it or not, an area designated the Denbigh Experimental Forest is located about 40 miles east of Minot on the south side of U.S. Highway 2. No, it wasn’t a naturally occurring feature on the North Dakota landscape, but it has been thriving since 1931. A little background is in order here. The Denbigh Experiment Forest goes back to when the Dust Bowl struck McHenry County, resulting in the establishment of the forest in 1931 as a 640 acre research project to determine what trees could survive in the area in “Dirty 30’s” conditions. As time progressed more than 40 different species of trees were planted in the “forest.” Most of them are still growing today, conifers and hardwoods towering high above the surround terrain. Today the forest falls under the management of the Sheyenne Ranger District office of the U.S. Forest Service in Lisbon. The forest is unique to the state, no question about that, and it is a wonderful destination for hikers and birdwatchers and others. Horseback riding is encouraged in the forest and is enjoyed by many throughout the year. Hikers will find the forest’s Denbigh Trail very much to their liking. The 3-mile loop winds through tree plantings and prairie unlike anything to be found elsewhere in the state. The trail is well marked and graveled as needed. One loop on the trail winds through a historic arboretum and can be walked as a short trail or in conjunction with the entire length of the Denbigh Trail. Visitors entering the forest travel a short distance through a tree lined roadway before passing by a seasonal caretakers cabin and entering an open area for

parking vehicles. A kiosk provides further information for visitors and a comfort station is available. Although there are no formal campgrounds within the forest, camping is allowed but limited to 14 consecutive days. Dispersed camping is allowed anywhere in the forest except at day use areas and trailheads. Also, very North Dakota-like, horses have the right-ofway on the forest trails, followed by hikers and bikers. No motorized vehicle are allowed on the trails but there is a short auto tour route that gives the visitor a very good look at the forest. The Denbigh Experimental Forest has a “leave no trace” policy, meaning visitors are asked to pack out all their trash to minimize impact on a natural resource. The cutting or removing of any “timber, tree, or firewood” is prohibited without a permit issued by the Sheyenne Ranger Office.

Outdoors/Staff Writer kfundingsland@minotdailynews.com UPHAM – It is one of the most scenic and interesting trips in the state – the Souris River Canoe Trail located within the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge. Canoeists can choose from 5 1/2, 7 1/3 and 13-mile trips. This year though, due to very dry conditions, paddlers are reminded to check on river conditions the refuge headquarters before planning a trek. When flows in the Souris allow, however, the route is enchanting. From water level, flanked on each side by the wooded bottomland of the Souris River, the canoeist can easily imagine a step back in time. Around each bend of the meandering river a new adventure awaits, be it a moose stepping down the bank to get a drink or a great blue heron looking down from a perch high above. There’s waterfowl too, a great variety of waterfowl from colorful wood ducks to the ever-present Canada geese. It takes only a few minutes on the water for a person to understand why the Souris River Canoe Route earned its designation as a National Recreation Trail. At the midway point of the trail lies the Thompson well, a sloping access point where it is very easy to bring a canoe to the bank. A few steps away is refreshing Thompson well, a handpumped well that was once a centerpiece of an old farmstead at the same location. A picnic table and comfort station makes Thompson well an ideal stop for anyone using the river or traversing the nearby Scenic Trail auto tour route. “There’s still a lot of people using that well for drinking water, making coffee and such,” said Gary Williams, J. Clark Salyer NWR. Unfortunately so far this year, river conditions have fallen victim to an on-going drought with little or no flow in the Souris and falling water levels. “The water is so low, and there’s a lot of log jams,” said Kyle Flannery, J. Clark Salyer NWR project leader. With rainfall though, conditions could change, even if for a short period of time. If a rising river makes the trail useable, it is well worth the time to get a very unique perspective on what North Dakota has to offer.
SOURIS RIVER CANOE TRAIL Wonderful river opportunity

Easy access to the Souris River can be found at the Thompson well site on the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge. The water route is designated as a National Recreation Trail.
Kim Fundingsland/MDN
From the access point at Johnson Bridge the Souris River Canoe Trail can be paddled as a 5 1/2, 7 1/2, or 13-mile trip. When conditions are right, the entire trail takes about 7 hours to complete. River conditions this spring are very low due to extremely dry conditions. Prospective canoeists are advised to check river conditions at the J. Clark Salyer NWR headquarters prior to planning a trip.

Excellent views of habitat, wildlife
Saturday, April 17, 2021
The J. Clark Salyer Scenic Auto Tour Route is 22 miles in length through the heart of the southern end of the refuge. A variety of habitat and wildlife can be found along the route.

There’s several places within easy driving distance of Minot where beautiful scenery and wildlife abounds, and it can all be accessed from the comfort of your vehicle. A camera, binoculars or spotting scope, and an appreciation for all things outdoors is all that is necessary to enjoy the wonders of nature. Four area National Wildlife Refuges – Upper Souris, J. Clark Salyer, Audubon, and Des Lacs, all have scenic routes within their boundaries that are open to the public. Closures of individual routes may occur from time to time due to severe weather conditions or other factors. If in doubt, prospective visitors can contact refuge headquarters for the latest information regarding access of the scenic routes.
J. Clark Salyer NWR Scenic Auto Tour Route
Kim Fundingsland/MDN
A route many consider to be one of the finest in North Dakota is located at the J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge near Upham. What makes the J. Clark Salyer route appealing to many is the wide diversity of habitat, from grasslands, to water and timber that is home to many species of wildlife, big and small. There are several interesting stops along the 22-mile route, including a pull-out adjacent to Dam No. 1, a rock structure built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s to control water levels within a portion of the refuge. This year, due to drought conditions and very low water levels in the Souris River, there is no water flowing over the structure and the rubble masonry dam is exposed much more than usual. The tour route begins near refuge headquarters and gives the visitor an excellent look at the 4,300 acre marsh that comprises an important aspect of the J. Clark Salyer, an area that meets the needs of migratory waterfowl and a great variety of shorebirds. A “must” stop along the route is Thompson well. It is well marked, as are other notable places along the self-guided tour. Thompson well is a remnant of the Thompson homestead that was located there prior to the construction of the refuge. “There’s still a lot of people that use that well for drinking water,” said Gary Williams, J. Clark Salyer NWR. The area near the well is mowed and includes a picnic table and comfort station, making it an ideal place for an outdoor lunch or just to pause a few minutes to observe the natural surroundings. It is also a stop-off point for the nearby Souris River Canoe Trail which has the distinction of being designated a National Recreation Trail. Several “Texas crossings” are located on the auto tour route. The crossings are concrete sec-

The route allows viewing of riverine habitat and wildlife from the comfort of a vehicle. tions of an otherwise gravel roadway, designed to prevent erosion during times of high water on the refuge. Willow Creek, which drains much of the Turtle Mountain region, merges with the Souris at J. Clark Salyer. As the tour route continues through the southern part of the refuge, visitors will notice a change from the bottomlands of the Souris River to the sandhills which were the beach of glacial Lake Souris more than 10,000 years ago. If wishing to do so, visitors can park their vehicle and explore the uniqueness of the sandhills at their leisure. Additionally, the Sandhills Picnic Area provides a shaded and remote spot with a scenic view. Picnic tables and restroom facilities are available as well. Further along the tour route, near its conclusion, is the Johnson Bridge. Built in 1908, the original Johnson Bridge was replaced by a new structure in 2010. However, due to the unique “pony truss” construction of the first Johnson Bridge, it was moved a few yards from its original location and remains on display. The pony truss construction prior to 1910 used pin-connections rather than rivets. The old See DRIVES — Page 5

bridge was erected by the Fargo Bridge and Iron Company. Informational signage can be found at the site, including a brief history of John and Annie Johnson who homesteaded near the river crossing. Both Johnsons were born in Norway. Prior to settling in North Dakota John Johnson worked in the gold mines at Deadwood, S.D., where he crossed paths with Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.
Upper Souris NWR Prairie-Marsh Scenic Drive
Less than a half-hour drive from Minot is the Prairie-Marsh Scenic Drive below Lake Darling on the Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge. The paved drive is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. as conditions allow. The automated gate at the beginning of the drive is located near the intersection of County Roads 6 and 11. Several points of interest are located along the self-guided tour which is marked with interpretive signs. One of the most popular turn-outs along the route offers visitors a splendid view of the refuge pools as seen from atop hills lining the Souris River valley. The sights and sounds, particularly on still mornings or evenings, can be spectacular as the air is filled with the sounds of birds and the pleasing rays of the rising or setting sun on the horizon. For those who desire to combine a bit of exercise with their auto tour, three nature trails of varying lengths can be easily accessed from the route with a fourth trailhead at a nearby kiosk location.
Audubon NWR Auto Tour Route
To the south of Minot, less than one-hour away, is the Audubon National Wildlife Refuge. It is there that a nearly nine-mile auto tour route is open to the public. The route is primarily along the shores of Lake Audubon. It features rolling hills, wetlands,
Lake Audubon, and, of course, wonderful opportunities to see wildlife from songbirds and waterfowl to white-tailed deer. Eleven interpretive signs are located along the route, each explained in a brochure that is available at the refuge Visitors Center or on the refuge’s website. Because Lake Audubon attracts a variety of migratory birds, both species and numbers of birds to be seen can change dramatically with the changing seasons.
Des Lacs NWR Auto Tour Route
Located near Kenmare, this 19-mile auto tour route provides scenic views of the Des Lacs River Valley and is part of the North Dakota Scenic Backways program. A number of interpretive panels are located along the route and describe refuge wildlife and habitat. This route offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities in the spring and fall, from small to large birds, white-tailed deer and even moose.

NEW SEASON AT STAR CITY GOLF COURSE ALREADY
UNDERWAY
By RYAN LADIKA
Sports Writer rladika@minotdailynews.com As the weather forces blood-red mercury farther up the thermometer with each passing week, the return of perhaps the only sport to be relatively unimpacted by the COVID-19 pandemic last spring is upon us once again. Golf courses and country clubs, and those who operate them, continued to benefit from the natural outdoor social-distancing the sport is built upon when other sports and society as a whole, crumbled around them. One of those courses that was able to keep its doors open was Star City Golf Course in Velva. Course President J.P. Lohnes expressed his relief that his crew did not have to cease operations altogether last year, and only needed to add minor tweaks to everyday life at the course to make it safe for patrons and members in accordance with North Dakota’s COVID-19 safety measures and guidelines. “As far as the course, the course opened as normal,” Lohnes recalled. “Of course we had COVID precautions out. We didn’t touch the flag sticks, so you were able to just bump your ball into the stick. Wiping down the carts after every use, and same with inside the restaurant area and spacing. We followed North Dakota guidelines and everything seemed to be fine.” See GOLF — Page 7

The nine-hole, par-72 course enjoyed a busy season amid the chaos last year, profiting off the lack of other sports and activities usually available to those who live in the area. “There were a lot of people who wanted to get outside,” Lohnes said. “This was the one avenue where people could do their social spacing. We didn’t have as many tournaments or events as we’d like to have during the year, but overall the turnout was pretty good.” Lohnes is optimistic that many of the events Velva residents have participated in over the years can be held once again this season, signaling a full return to normalcy. He is expecting high school tournaments to begin starting later this month, which will go into May. The course’s two-man scramble tournament will commence at the tail-end of April, and a fire department tournament will be held in June for the first responders who have worked so tirelessly through the last year. Before the pandemic, the course’s men’s night was reliably the biggest night of the week. Every Wednesday, Lohnes and his staff would see between 80 to 100 people come out and tee off. Women’s night takes place on Thursdays, and Lohnes also noted his excitement about the growth he’s seen the last few years for that event. On the average day, though, with any kind of nice weather, the course usually sees around 75 people come through to play. With all that traffic, Lohnes and his

Minot Daily News • PROGRESS: Outdoor Recreation grounds crew ensure they remain on top of the upkeep of the course to maintain its pristine look and high quality of the playing surface for their guests, especially considering the fact that metal spikes are permitted to be worn on the course, a rarity in the Minot area. The staff has projects specifically geared toward irrigation well underway to improve the watering capabilities of the campus. “We did a water project last year, which has helped tremendously for bringing river water up here,” Lohnes said. “We used to really watch our water usage with our wells that we had, and now that we’ve brought river water up we’ve been able to water more than we have in the past. It’s been keeping up really nice.” The project is just another way Lohnes and his staff demonstrate forward-thinking in order to put out the best product possible for their guests. People give rave reviews for the course’s restaurant, and express their pleasure with the quality of the campus when attending non-golf events hosted by the course as well. This season, Lohnes is excited to return to a pre-pandemic state and will be fine-tuning the smaller issues that arise throughout the year as the course welcomes its guests backs to the greens. “The big goals this year are just continuing with the minor improvements,” he said. “We do have some updating, some upkeep that needs to be done this year. But it’s going to be really nice to have a little bit more of a normalcy compared to last year due to COVID. It’ll be nice just to get back to a normal year.”
