Overview

About

Come out to explore Lewis and Clark State Park and get in touch with your “intrepid adventurer” side, just like the park’s namesake. Lake Sakakawea is full of fun along it’s shore and this particular park is no exception. You’ll find this special place on one of the lake’s upper bays, surrounded by the infamous buttes of the North Dakota Badlands. It’s a landscape that you’re bound to fall for. The lake is full of walleye, sauger, and northern pike for all of you anglers out there. If fishing isn’t your thing, hang out on the swimming beach, or boat around in bliss. And when night falls, you can retire to one of the park’s rental cabins, or to your cozy campsite in the campground.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lewis and Clark State Park is during the summer months, when the weather is warm and the park is fully accessible. Spring and fall offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, perfect for those seeking tranquility. Winters can be harsh, with some facilities closed or limited due to snow.

  • Stay safe by adhering to posted signs and guidelines, especially when participating in water activities.
  • Accessibility options are available; inquire at the visitor center for assistance.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
