Hazen
Nestled just a hop, skip, and a splash away from Lake Sakakawea (the third-largest man-made lake in the U.S.), Garrison Dam, Mercer County Museum and the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, this lively town sits proudly on the Lewis and Clark Trail. With a thriving business district and fun at every corner, Hazen is your ultimate summer playground! Dive into Lake Sakakawea at Hazen Bay Recreation Area and don't forget to try the legendary German Russian treat, Fleischkuechle, or savor a bowl of Knoephla soup. For pizza lovers, there's no shortage of mouthwatering slices waiting for you! The Sassy Sasquatch serves a scrumptious Smashburger.
Stroll downtown to the charming Paul Weiser Pocket Park or let your inner kid run wild at the Musical Play Park in Heritage Park. Swing by the original train depot, now home to the Hazen Public Library. Over four miles of scenic trails beckon bikers and walkers alike, connecting parks, sports fields, and the golf course, making it a breeze to hop from one exciting event to another.
Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife along the trails—there's nothing quite like a pheasant’s morning flight over Antelope Creek! Hazen takes pride in its parks, trails, swimming pool, archery club, campgrounds, North Stars Arena, and the Hazen Golf Course.
Need a caffeine fix? Groundation Coffee and the Urban Coffeehouse are ready to perk up your day with unique brews that'll make you grin from ear to ear! Come fall, Hazen bursts with excitement during Harvestfest, featuring a parade, inflatables, a quilt show, carnival games, a vendor blender, a Fleischkuechle fundraiser, food trucks, a street dance, a beer garden, and a golf tournament. There's truly something for everyone! Come explore and connect in Hazen!
