Unspoiled vistas, brilliant night skies, and vast wildlife are waiting to be discovered at the Dakota Prairie Grasslands. Uniquely laid out, the grasslands are actually individual areas dispersed throughout the state, so you can throw a dart at the map and choose! The antelope laden tallgrass prairie of the Sheyenne National Grassland is wildly different than the badlands of the Little Missouri Grasslands, but we guarantee the variety, scenery, and killer camping at each is reason enough to visit them all! Try the groovy Denbigh Experimental Forest, horseback riding in the Grand River National Grassland, or coyote spotting at sunset at Buffalo Gap. You seriously can’t have a bad time here, it’s impossible. The friendly rangers, down home feel, and stunning sunsets all over the Dakota Grasslands will leave you wondering what took you so long to make it out to these one of a kind adventures.
