Pembina Gorge State Park

As North Dakota's newest state park, Pembina Gorge State Park invites visitors to explore one of the state’s most dramatic and diverse landscapes. A newly constructed campground sits near an extensive trail system open to hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and OHV use with more than 16 miles of trails to discover. The region is also connected by an extensive snowmobile trail system. The Pembina River winds through the gorge, offering kayaking opportunities when river conditions allow, with rentals available seasonally.

Defined by steep valley cliffs, quiet prairies, and pocketed wetlands, Pembina Gorge is surrounded by the largest continuous, undisturbed forest in North Dakota. This rugged terrain supports exceptional biodiversity and is rich in wildlife, history, and paleontological resources.

From sweeping views and unforgettable sunsets to miles of wooded trails, Pembina Gorge State Park offers both adventure and solitude in a landscape found nowhere else in North Dakota.
