Rough Rider is the perfect spot for visitors seeking adventure. In the early spring, canoeing and kayaking is popular on the Little Missouri River, North Dakota's only State Scenic River. Horseback riding, hiking and biking are also popular activities on the Maah Daah Hey Trail.

While exploring Cross Ranch State Park, visitors may find themselves traveling back in time, catching a glimpse of the landscape as it appeared to Native Americans inhabiting the area hundreds of years ago, or hearing the echoes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition making its way to the Pacific coast along the Missouri River.

Visitors to Grahams Island can enjoy a day on Devils Lake, take a stroll on the hiking trails and the water's edge, swim at the beach or hang out at the visitors center. It's a great jumping-off point for anglers.
