Where Rivers Meet: A Walk Through History & Nature
Saturdays, 10-11 a.m.
Departing from the Interpretive Center, this 60-minute guided walk explores the post-glacial landscape of the confluence, highlighting native plants, wildlife, and river ecology while connecting these natural features to human stories, especially Indigenous use of the land, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the development of nearby Fort Buford.
This event is part of the ND250 commemoration celebrating our country’s 250th birthday.
