3.5Riverwalk of Minot(15 reviews) - Scenic Hiking Trails This was something different! We walk every day, and here we saw some beautiful sights even though they are still cleaning up from the devestating flood, they are working so hard to get this and the zoo going! We saw two types of turtles in the river, cranes, geese and several types of ducks, herons and schools of fish, met some very nice local people who shared their stories. A very pleasurable experience, thank you North Dakota, will be back next year!See more..
5.0Boicourt Overlook Trail(14 reviews) - How did that sidewalk get there? Spent < 1 hour Hiking Trails
The trail is listed as 0.3 miles, 15 minutes. Maybe they are measuring to the end of the new concrete sidewalk (or maybe *from* the end), but the narrow dirt trail goes farther, culminating on a narrow ridge with a stunning panoramic view of a spectacular valley landscape. I would not advise small children or anyone unsteady on his feet to go to the end as a fall or misstep could easily be fatal. The round trip from the car took me 30 minutes.See more..
5.0Wind Canyon Trail(10 reviews) - Small risk with great rewards! Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails
A pretty gentle hike from the parking lot. The trail takes you to the riverside, then to the top of the hill, then back to the parking lot, offering unparalleled views of the North Dakota grasslands. Absolutely not hard of a trail and it rewards you an absolute gem of a view. When we visited, there was also a bison resting at the butte opposite the trail and that was a cool sight to see.See more..
Took the grandkids here. We have 111 hard back Louis L'Amour books at home and just had to visit this place. Kids lived the town and I enjoyed visiting the writer's shack where he wrote his books. Good bit of history about the man in the shack as well.See more..

4.5Little Missouri State Park(4 reviews) - Stayed 2 nights State Parks • Equestrian Trails • Hiking Trails
This is actually a horse camp so you wake to horses neighing. It’s on a bluff overlooking the river and quite pretty. They have wonderful clean showers and pit toilets- so it’s also cheaper. Everything in Medora was taken and this was wide open. Yes you had to travel to get to Theodore Roosevelt National Park but in this part of the country you must travel. The only downside was you could hear the flames from the oil wells.See more..
I go up there and run its a hard place to run. Our cross country team goes up there and runs the butte its a very beautiful place. See more..
4.5Sperati Point Trail(4 reviews) - Great little hike Spent 1-2 hours Hiking Trails
If you want a really peaceful and beautiful view of the valley floor and surrounding area take the time and do this short 1.2-mile hike. You basically walk through the prairie area most all the way. There is some uphill and on a hot day, I could see where this could be tough. But if you like some adventure and are up for a shot hike take the time. We sat on the overlook for a while after getting there and no one else was around. It was very peaceful and the views are amazing. The trail is well marked and even has 10th of mile markers most of the way. Definitely do this hike in the park .See more..

This particular trail could not be accessed from the scenic road on our visit due to the road being closed due to a landslide. The final stop on the scenic road we could access was the Badlands Overlook.See more..
Beautiful views. Short trial well marked. Great workout enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Badlands!See more..
5.0Jones Creek Trail(1 review) - Interesting hiking trail that goes through a prairie dog town Hiking Trails This was one of our favorite hikes in TRNP-South Unit. Both of its trailheads are located on the main road through the park and have a good amount of parking available. We started on the far trailhead. The trail partially follows along a creek bed and we saw a little snake there. We also saw lots of mountain bluebirds and, since the trail goes through a prairie dog town, we got to see lots of prairie dogs up close. It's a longer trail but it wasn't particularly strenuous. There is no shade though, so I wouldn't hike this in the heat of the day in the summer. One final thing, we caught a glimpse of a mountain lion crossing the road not far from that trailhead so I guess you should keep your eyes peeled as you hike. You might get lucky too.See more..
