RED RIVER STATE RECREATION AREA

The Sherlock Park neighborhood, located in the northern area of downtown East Grand Forks, experienced severe flooding in the late 1990s, causing significant damage and making it uninhabitable. Instead of rebuilding, the area was transformed into the Red River State Recreation Area, showcasing the community's resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.

It is worth noting that the campground still displays several sections with the original paved roads initially constructed for the neighborhood's residents, which reflects the area's past. This feature symbolizes the park's evolution and serves as a reminder of the community's history.
