HELLOOO, FUN ON THE WATER! We love sharing our more than 1 million wetlands and lake basins. Whether you like the thrill of waterskiing or tubing in the wake of a speed boat or letting your kayak drift with the current of one of the greatest North American rivers, we have the water recreation for you. LAKE METIGOSHE in the aspen-forested Turtle Mountains is one of North Dakota’s most popular vacation spots. Take part in ecology, conservation and outdoor programs at Lake Metigoshe’s Outdoor Learning Center. The PEMBINA RIVER flows through untouched forests of northeastern North Dakota. The river’s rocky bed offers family-friendly whitewater experiences and a 13-mile canoe trail. The MISSOURI RIVER is one of the nation’s most iconic rivers. See towering cottonwoods, sandbars, eagles and ospreys. Favorite routes include Garrison Dam to Bismarck or the Missouri-Yellowstone confluence near Williston. The SHEYENNE RIVER winds its way 591 miles across eastern North Dakota and provides excellent recreation at Lake Ashtabula near Valley City and at Fort Ransom State Park. The RED RIVER flows north, forming the North Dakota-Minnesota border. Canoe and kayak rentals available in Fargo and Grand Forks. LAKE SAKAKAWEA and DEVILS LAKE together have four state parks and nearly 780 square miles of water to explore — as well as a selection of marinas, resorts, outfitters and restaurants.
