Top 5 Things to do in North Dakota
North Dakota is one of those states that tends to get overlooked when you're planning your next summer vacation. In fact if you asked most people what they know about this state all they could probably tell you is that it's above South Dakota. That's about all I knew before we purposefully planned a trip there to take in some of the sights and sounds. So here are our top 5 things to do in North Dakota. This list is by no means exhaustive, we only barely scratched the surface of this great state. Let us know in the comments if we missed your favorite North Dakota attraction.

As is usually the case we had far too little time in this great state! These were our top 5, but we know North Dakota has much more to offer! What are your favorite ND places to visit?
The North Dakota Winter Show in Valley City.
4:23 What is the name of tree?
The tree is a cottonwood
1. Breathe air
2. Exist
3. Consume sustenance
4. Look at grass
5. Look at sky
Boom, 5 easy.
You should take a trip to the turtle mts in north dakota and the peace gardens a garden that sits in both USA and Canada a 1 of a kind garden no other 2 countries in the world have this
I must say, I'm proud to say I'm from North Dakota.Very beautiful presentation. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! It's a great state!
I'm not from North Dakota, but I am proud to call it home for 5 years!
Very nice up there! Second best state!
I traveled all through North Dakota in 2019. Some of my favorite places was the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown. Another place is the Devils Lake area and the Enchantment Highway
If I ever want to disappear I'll disappear here
Im leaving west virginia, and moving to north dakota in 3 days! Really excited to disappear somewhere new!
@@isaacdavis1936 How do u like it?
@@Da9ine5ive its definitely been a change, but its beautiful up here! Everyone has been so nice, and ive never in my life received this much help in a move. Most people in the area just gave us free stuff that we needed on facebook marketplace. Its been pretty great so far!
Facts
@@isaacdavis1936 I've been looking into it myself! That is definitely good to hear! Thank you!
The most underrated of all US States
Agreed!
I was born and raised in Dickinson North Dakota! I will probably never leave!!
Enjoyed your video. You seem like a happy family- love those kids' sweet smiles! Keep up the good work!
Love your video. We already have a home in North Dakota and will be moving there soon. Can't wait to visit all these places mentioned, as well as ones from the comments.
Top thing I miss is North Dakota blue skies, puffy clouds and beautiful sunsets. Thanks for the video!
Just some pretty cool things to do on the western side of the state. There’s also seeing the nature park just outside of Devils Lake, ND. It kinda has the same feel as Teddy National Park, just smaller.
Thanks for this list. I learned some new things and am excited to plan a trip with two kids there next summer.
You're welcome, glad it was useful!
This was a fantastic video…well done and so informative! ND is definitely on our list of vacation destinations! Hank you for sharing.
Love the four places. I will add the International Peace Garden. Will be moving to ND soon. Excited!!
Great addition to the list!
The cabin that my mother was born in is in the northern unit. I spent my summers in the western part of North Dakota on the farm south of Arnegard. I cherish all of the memories and out of all of the places I've lived, North Dakota is my favorite. Moved back in 2014!
I am soooo glad you had a chance to take your family out to Medora! Isn't it great!? I think I got out there right before you did - and I was in agreement with all your top 5 - North Dakota is a surprising state!
It's great! I wish we had had more time to explore. You've put out some good videos covering other things we didn't get to.
This is great - I used to live in North Idaho, and I've made a lot of trips east - skipping ND every time. The extent of my experience there was on the Empire Builder during a stopover in Minot while I was filming that video.
Having BTDT when 'Growing Up In Mandan (GUIM)', I appreciate this excellent production of some great scenery and historical artifacts of my experience.
This video made me cry 🥲 I just feel so strongly about moving here from Maine to start a new life, been researching like crazy and just being where I am now I feel that I'm really missing out in the world, you guys have bison and wild horses! That's amazing, wild horses are kinda rare nowadays aren't they? I so badly want to be there right now exploring my new home but I gotta wait 6 more months to save up as much as I can for the big move. I'm so excited to live there and to see all that North Dakota has to offer! I plan to move to Fargo so not sure how far some of these places in the video are to it but I wrote it all down to explore later on when I get there! Thank you so much for making this video and I can't wait to explore it too!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it. Fargo is about 5 hours from these locations. It is a good place though, we went through there often when we were staying in Minnesota. Best of luck to you on your move!
@@OurMillionAdventures thanks for the heads up! Maybe I could take public transportation to some of these areas 😊
You have to be adaptable to live here. Brutal hot summers, -40+ winters, high winds, and dangerous storms. Lived here all of my 45 years. Visited other places and always want to come back home.
Quite peaceful here and "North Dakota nice" is a phrase for a reason.
There's more to do on the east side, but it's flat and a higher crime rate. What little crime we have.
The west side (where I live) is less populous, but more scenic.
Oh, and Fargo is about as far as you can get from some of these places. About 4 hours from Fort Lincoln and 6 hours from Medora. 7 hours to the North Unit.
So many people dream of living in Maine!
I heard ND gets hammered by snow
What a great video! I've always wondered what's there and the parts that you showed look spectacular. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to visit this place ...I love it
You should! North Dakota is great!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your adventure
I lived there almost 2yrs I loved it clean, not over crowded. Go to pitch fork steak fondue. The wild life is just amazing i truly miss it, stuck in florida
There are awesome things to do anywhere if you look. Florida is great as well. Get out to the ocean and enjoy.
Haha I'm from Miami. Extremely beautiful there I love it. Moved to Dever for a year.. loved it. Currently living in Portland OR. Oregon is just breathtakingly beautiful. Did not think I'd ever say that I can call OR my permanent home.
Great format.
You guys should stop by Crosby , ND in July for the annual Threshing Bee . Its during the 3rd week in July and a awesome event .
Thanks for the recommendation!
Well, come back and visit again. Make sure to see Lake Sakakawea, and the Peace Gardens next time.
Great video, am intrigued seen it on Irish TV as the only American state with no Irish person!
It is a pretty empty state, there aren't a lot of people from any nationality actually... It is very beautiful though. Thanks for watching!
Our family were from the Turtle Mountain area. Not far from the Peace Gardens.
Great Video👍 - thanks; an really a wonderful state!
Thanks for watching 😁
Nice presentation ! Heading there next month, visiting everyplace on your video except the north unit of T. R. State Park.
As a lifelong ND resident, I’d judge that the T R National Park north unit has little to nothing extra to offer over the south unit. You won’t miss much.
@@fightman49 Thanks !
@@villanovakid84 👍
As a Brit ND is on my bucket list
Other better states to see.nprth dakota is boring and nothing to really they have those road side attractions that's it.south dakota is alot better if your gonna visit one of the dakota's visit south dakota.
@@jeffwinters3808 If I get there I may as well see both
There are some fun things to do there, but don’t forget to tell people to avoid going in winter. It gets extremely cold, and with wind chills reaching negative 60 plus ( Fahrenheit) it gets dangerous fast.
Great job nice video
Thanks!
Going in September thanks
Enjoy!
excellent video, excellent content !!
Much appreciated!
Something ND has that most of the east doesn't is dark sky. The milky way is phenomenal there.
Not nearly as dark or nice as it was 40 years ago ... but yes, still nice.
I would never think to visit North Dakota, but it looks really cool! Awesome video!
I know right? It is actually pretty cool. We were impressed.
Don't Go.
Love North Dakota ! Wouldn’t live anywhere else!
Moving in a few months from Puerto Rico. Winter is Coming. 😅
I loved fort Lincoln
Awesome
Turtle Mountains, International Peace Gardens, International Peace Gardens Music camp and festival all near Bottineau ND.🧐
You should go to turtle river in the summer you can swim,bike,hike, and camp
Swim i lived in Scotland and the weather there is a fair bit warmer, but swimming in the Lochs [Lakes] are freezing even in summer, so dear knows how one would want to swim in ND.
Achei lindo , espetácular , gostaria de conhecer um dia ♥️❤️
Looks like a place to visit
definitely worthwile!
…and to live.

I’m not sayin’ you’re wrong. But everything listed as a Top 5…is located in basically
ithe same area of a big, vast state.
How about a UND hockey game in Grand Forks
or NDSU Bison Football game in Fargo
Fishing at Devils Lake????
That said my daughter lives close to where you were, Watford City. It is a beautiful area that many people miss out on. Kids can learn some history. Very Enjoyable.
مرحبا مع تحياتي لك من ليبيا 🤝بلد جميل ورائع 👍اشكرك على اهتمامك مع تحياتي لكم 💐
شكرا للمشاهدة
Check out the International Peace Garden on the ND. Manitoba border.
Thanks for the recommendation!
My experience in north Dakota was at Minot AFB. In January wouldn't recommend going there that Time of the year.
Unless you love winter! 😃
Only the best go north.
Hope i can live in north dakota one day
Christopher Christopher Christopher my Brother. How do you move from Temecula Wine Country by San Diego and not far from the Mountains to North Dekota?
Ft. Abercrombie, Bonanzaville, Ft. Ransom, National Grasslands
Thanks for adding these suggestions!
I live in Norway and I know there is many americans of Norwegian heritage in this state. Wonder if there are any chances to move there and work. Is it easy to get a Green card nowadays ?
Good content, however the audio voice dub was weak in amplitude.
Thanks for the feedback. Always looking to improve!
This is old info from when I was a kid but it's probably somewhat reflective today, though heavy toward "other": 45% were Germans, and 40% were Norwegian; the rest were Polish, French, UK, Eastern European AND Irish, especially in western Pembina County. (Sweden was noticably represented, but most who came over stayed behind in Minnesota.) As for the Irish, it seems you can't quench your thirst in the state without running into one. A visitor once wrote home to Boston that N.D. "is a strange place, the rivers run north and the Irish vote Republican."
The fine video covered only western N.D. On my list a!so would be: Lake Sakakawea, Turtle Mountains and Peace Garden, Pembina Gorge, Fort Ransom and the Shyenne River, Devils Lake aka Spirit Lake, Kildeer Mountains, Red River of the North and the Little Missouri River. (For most of these destinations, don't just go there, N.D. doesn't have a Gettysburg or Cooperstown, N.Y. Go online etc. for info, set your objective, and arrive with a plan.)
FYI. The observations above might seem out of place. I meant to reply to Anthony m's question below about Irish in N.D., but my remarks ended up here in the Comments section. I liked the video and am impressed by all the good suggestions other NoDakkers have posted.
Great comment and recommendations! I love hearing about the interesting ethnic makeup of the state! Thanks
You completely forgot to include-what percentage were/are the Native Americans? Sounds about white...
How long do you recommend to stay in Medora? We are planning a trip later this summer (just the parents!)
Good question. Really depends how much you want to explore the National park. You can see and explore the town in a day, it's pretty small. We spent two days to explore the town and the park, I would have preferred three.
There is also a very nice golf course there. Take a day for that
@@toddreichenberg1191 amazing golf at Bully Pulpit. ❤❤
Greetings from the small Hamlet of Mekinock, North Dakota.
Thanks for watching! Anymore places we should know about in North Dakota?
@@OurMillionAdventures Turtle river state park is a beautiful place, makes for a great hiking trip and a solid adventure. That's one of my favorite popular hiking spots.
Ft Random. And basically the whole rest of the state!
You should visit the North Dakota State Museum.
What part of the state is that in?
In Bismarck. The state Capital
Spend a couple of days in Bismarck/Mandan. Heritage Museum, State capitol building, Buckstop Junction, Ft Abraham Lincoln, even the ND Veteran Cemetery is interesting!

Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile Site

I’m good
I lived in ND for a bit.
I will only ever move back there at gunpoint. Such a hole of a state. Ew.
I was exiled to Grand Forks Air Force Base in the late 1970’s for 4 grueling years. (It was hell for this 18 year old without the uninvented Internet and a long distance phone call cost $1.05 per minute adjusted for inflation)
Northeastern North Dakota is the total opposite of this video. (5.5 hours east)
Furthermore, I see you visit during their extremely short summers. (July 31 through August 2nd)
Come to Grand Forks in January and bring your kids, because you may need to sacrifice them and eat them to stay alive. Needless to say,
I hope to never return.
I am a native North Dakotan and have survived for 72 years winters in Fargo without eating any children. 😊. I know you are making a joke, but the winters are not all that bad, you just have to be prepared for them. Granted an 18 year old, without transportation, would only have what was on the base for entertainment. But you could go hunting or read a book. If you would have gone outside a little bit longer each day you would have found that you could actually survive the winter. ❄️
I embraced North Dakota as best as an 18 could, 1,050 miles from home. (southeastern Illinois) I eventually bought a snowmobile, cross country skis and fishing. I’m not a hunter. I had 2 extended weekends at Lake Ashtabula and Devils Lake and was skunked both times, but Minnesota made up for that 10 fold. The U.S. Air Force provided us with excellent Artic gear, but it was still a deadly environment, especially in the late 70’s.
The worst was the townspeople of Grand Forks. Some (not all) treated us with great disrespect, calling us “Scum Basers” and looked as if we were aliens from outer space.
The females, attending University of North Dakota, wanted absolutely nothing to do with us guys from the base. We stuck out like a sore thumb with our required short haircuts when long hair was the norm of the time. It was 4 years of hell, not what any young man should be exposed to. It was like an open air prison and my only conviction was to serve my country.
Thanks for your service.
