  • North Dakota Trails Tour
    NORTH DAKOTA TRAILS TOUR At 144 miles, the biggest, baddest and longest multi-use trail in North Dakota is the Maah Daah Hey Trail stretching from near Amidon through the North Dakota Badlands almost to Watford City. While that receives much of the attention from hikers, bikers and horseback riders, it’s only one of many trails across the state designed for a quick hike or ride or even several days on the route. Maah Daah Hey Trail Explore the Badlands as Theodore Roosevelt did on horseback or foot or jump on your modern boneshaker for what the International Mountain Biking Association deemed an Epic Ride. Hiking and horseback riding is allowed anywhere but bikers are limited to paved roads within Theodore Roosevelt National Park. However, feeder trails like the Buffalo Gap Trail off theMaah Daah Hey bypass areas of the park without taking away any of the scenic wonders. Trails are clearly marked and wildlife like bison, wild horses, deer, eagles, bighorn sheep and prairie dogs are plentiful. And please, don’t try to pet the bison or the prairie dogs. Bike rentals and shuttles are available in Medora. North Country National Scenic Trail This segment of the 4,600-mile trail from New Hampshire to North Dakota is the longest of the 11 trail segments at roughly 400 miles from Abercrombie to Pick City. Much of the trail is off-road but there is road walking as well. North Dakota State Parks Hundreds of miles of trails crisscross North Dakota’s 19 state parks and designated recreation areas and Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.
