For the outdoor enthusiasts
North Dakota Tourism
November is Native American Heritage Month and an opportunity to celebrate our tribal nations that are an essential part of North Dakota’s history. All are welcome to explore the tribal lands and experience Native American culture by learning about each tribe’s history, language and traditions, while visiting reconstructed earthlodge villages and historic sites.
Here are a few places to experience North Dakota’s Native American culture:
Zip from south to north on the interstate and discover some great stops along the way!
Day 1 | Hankinson/Wahpeton
The first day could start with breakfast at Dakota Magic Casino’s Twin Buffalo Grill, then it’s outside for 27 holes of golf at Dakota Winds Golf Course. Just up I-29, Wahpeton is home to “Wahpper,” the world’s largest catfish, and hundreds of live animals at Chahinkapa Zoo. Red Door Art Gallery feeds the inner artist, and the Boiler Room feeds the stomach before turning in for the night.
Get outside and take advantage of these North Dakota winter adventures:
Lake Metigoshe State Park – It’s one thing to hike a snow-covered trail, it’s another to bike that trail. Fat-tire winter biking has taken off, and the trails at Lake Metigoshe State Park are perfect for it. A cozy cabin in the woods with a roaring fire awaits after a day on the trails.
