Visitors to North Dakota take pleasure in the state’s forests and recreation areas. Deer and pheasant hunting, along with bass and trout fishing, keep visitors booking flights to North Dakota. Some of the greater points of interest in North Dakota include the International Peace Garden near Dunseith, Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, and of course, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

They entered North Dakota in the winter of 1804 and stayed at Fort Mandan (near Washburn). They followed the Missouri river to the Yellowstone (near Williston).
