The Devils Lake Water Tour 

Thursday June 20th, 2024
The Devils Lake Basin Joint Water Resource Board represents seven counties in Northeastern North Dakota dealing with water management issues in the Devils Lake Basin area. This year’s tour will look at the other areas of the Devils Lake Basin, visit water projects, and learn how they affect Devils Lake. Participants will visit the Dale & Martha Hawk Museum in Wolford and learn about irrigation, sub-surface drainage, rural water distribution, and water conveyance. The tour begins and ends in Rugby.

About the Tour

The Devils Lake water tour focuses on the critical outlets and flood control infrastructure components in the Devils Lake Basin. Join us for the Devils Lake area tour to see the ongoing effects of high water, mitigation efforts that have been implemented to reduce the impacts of flooding, and some of the many recreational opportunities the additional waters have created. 

​The public is invited to attend the tour, which costs $30 per person, and includes transportation, informational materials, meals, refreshments and a one-year subscription to the North Dakota Water magazine.

The tour begins and ends at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake. The tour typically starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends around 5:00 p.m.
