McDowell Dam Recreation Area Fun Day

Join us for the McDowell Dam Recreation Area Fun Day, a vibrant July celebration at McDowell Dam Recreation Area, located at 1951 93rd St. NE, just four miles east and one mile north on Highway 10. Pack a sack lunch or supper and spend the day outdoors with family and friends. Enjoy activities such as paddling across the lake, relaxing by the shoreline, and taking in the beautiful scenery. Whether you're trying something new or enjoying familiar favorites, there's something for everyone. This event is a fantastic way to celebrate National Park and Recreation Month while exploring one of Bismarck’s favorite summer destinations. Plus, you can enjoy free use of paddleboats, paddleboards, canoes, and kayaks (with accessible kayak launch), or grab a snack or drink at the concession stand if you prefer. Come and make unforgettable memories in the great outdoors!
