Sheyenne Riverways

Recent monitoring work found Eurasian watermilfoil and curlyleaf pondweed in the Sheyenne River near Valley City.

The plants interfere with boating and fishing, choke out other plant species, and cause an imbalance of fish species and populataion.

The Barnes County Wildlife Federation, Barnes County Park District, Barnes County Highway Department, Fingal Wildlife Club, Litchville Wildlife Club, Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway and Sheyenne Valley Growth Alliance have created a partnership to install recreational visitor amenities at the Walker Dam/Wadeson Cabin park area located two miles east of Kathryn, North Dakota. Improvements include; a bridge plank stairway with a flower planter, a concrete privy, garbage container, interpretive panels, graveled the parking lot, seeded grass, and planted trees. Future plans include the placement of the original milling stones of the Walker Mill, built near the site in 1882.

Sheyenne Riverways, Inc. Is a non-profit organization established in 2006 to restore, preserve, and improve the quality of the Sheyenne River for future generations.
