Turtle Mountain Byway

The byway begins its upward accent winding through the calm serene beauty of the Turtle Mountains passing farmsteads, pasture land, recreational areas, Christian retreats, beautiful clear blue lakes, tree covered wildlife areas and then descends into the foothills with a spectacular view of the prairie. Rich in history, this area provided trading and trapping for the early settlers. Buffalo herds were in abundance and wildlife still abounds in the area. The visitor can enjoy beautiful lakes, lush foliage, wildflowers and an abundance of wildlife.
