A place worth knowing

Make room for Bottineau.

Use Bottineau as a base for a carefully chosen Turtle Mountain outing. A park walk, a town landmark or a winter recreation day calls for different preparation. Check the season, allow for the separate drives and leave room for food in town.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Lake Metigoshe State Park

Choose a designated trail or lake-area activity using current park information. Check vehicle permits, weather, water or ice conditions and seasonal services; use public access rather than crossing private shoreline.

Tommy Turtle Park

Use local visitor information to plan a relaxed stop at Bottineau’s town landmark and park. Confirm current facilities and access; this is distinct from a scheduled winter-sports outing.
