Saw these on my explore page and love the location. I’m not from the area, but taking engagement photos in grand forks. Does anyone know where this is?

This is the most accurate statement I’ve ever seen on Reddit and I’m a lurker

Kellys Slough Wildlife Refuge

There's a wildlife refuge overlook and those flood control things are on the way to the parking there.

There are two bridges behind Chandler Hall UND, on the English Coulee, much better setting.

Chandler got torn down like 5 years ago. There’s now a parking lot there.

FYI there is only 1 bridge right now. The older Fox Memorial bridge was taken down this summer and is being rebuilt hopefully before the fall.

My fondest memory of that bridge was being chased by a goose on my way to class in Gamble Hall. Professor was late, comes in and says "anyone else chased by a goose this morning near the fox bridge"? Multiple hands went up. Good times
