Jul 19, 2008 in Vacation sites
North Dakota is a big state, filled with lakes, streams, and woodlands. It is the most wonderful place to vacation for the fisherman. No matter what your favorite outdoor activity, you are sure to find plenty of action on your North Dakota Family Vacation.
Gone Fishing
North Dakota has a lot of great streams, rivers, and lakes that are prime spots for anglers looking to bag a prize fish or just to grab some dinner. Silver Lake, Elm Lake, Larson Lake, and the Missouri River are just a few of the hundreds of places around the state that you can drop in a lure and line and hope to reel out a monster fish.
For those who truly breath fishing, you might want to visit the North Dakota Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum. The hall is located in Garrison, and offers a view of the traditional fishermen from the state as well as a variety of different types of fishing memorabilia. For anyone who calls himself or herself anglers, this museum can’t be missed!
Gone Hunting
Those who enjoy hunting will be happy to know that North Dakota offers a huge variety of game. You can hunt buffalo, whitetail deer, and unique waterfowl.
You may even wish to reserve a stay at a hunting lodge and perhaps even hire a local guide who can take you deep into the region to find some of the most elusive game animals in the state such as elk and moose.
Gone Camping
Perhaps you are not an angler nor a hunter, and you would enjoy a chance to just spend your hunt camping out under the stars and enjoying the wilderness. North Dakota offers up plenty of land for just that.
Some of the most popular places to camp while in North Dakota are within the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Juniper Campground and Cottonwood Campground, both within the park can accommodate RVs, trailers, and tents.
Gone Hiking
If you don’t have time to go camping and would prefer to just find a path to hike for a few hours, you will be glad to know that a selection of great trails crisscross this state. You can also find some trails that may take you a few days to complete!
The Lewis and Clark Trail, as well as Custer’s Last Trail, are both popular places for hikers to explore.
No matter what kind of outdoor activity is your favorite, North Dakota is sure to satisfy.
