THE DOOR IS OPEN TO AMAZING OUTDOOR RECREATION. This is what North Dakota is known for — stunning sunsets, big skies and even bigger adventures. Create memories doing the things you love like hiking, biking, riding and paddling. Pack your sunscreen now while you’re thinking about it. SAY HI TO PARKS. It’s easy to sustainably enjoy nature here. You’ll find 13 state parks located throughout the state. Family fun lies ahead, with many parks located by lakes, in the Badlands or in scenic river valleys. There you’ll have access to boat ramps, kayak rentals, hiking and biking trails, campgrounds and lodging in a yurt or cabin. IT’S TIME TO RIDE. The air is fresh in North Dakota, so open the car windows or put the top down so you can take it all in. Of course, a car isn’t the only way to feel the wind in your hair. Other favorites here include riding a motorcycle down a scenic byway, a horse through the Badlands, a sled down a snowy hill or a tube across a shimmering lake. Pleasant mornings and evenings with long summer daylight mean more time to play. BE OUT SIDE. When getting away is this close, what are you waiting for? Enjoy long summer days on Devils Lake, Lake Sakakawea or on one of our more than 400 other beautiful lakes. Ride the wake on a tube or fish for our famous walleye, northern pike and perch. Keep your eyes open for excellent opportunities to see wildlife along hiking trails, waterways and scenic roads. Throughout North Dakota, find places to see species including wild bison, whitetail deer, mule deer, coyotes, river otters, prairie dogs, pronghorn antelope, wild horses, elk, moose, bighorn sheep and more. Bring your binoculars and visit our 63 national wildlife refuges to see hundreds of song bird species, plus vast flocks of migratory waterfowl as they’re flying the continent. The other kind of birdie is 100% up to you. Play golf courses that are both award-winning and affordable. Destination courses include Bully Pulpit in the scenic Badlands, Hawktree in Bismarck, The Links of North Dakota overlooking Lake Sakakawea near Williston and the Arnold Palmer-designed King’s Walk in Grand Forks.
