Crisp cool mornings, rolling prairie, windswept grasses, views of wooded shores, and wildlife sightings characterize these North Dakota horse trails.
Trails feature hitch posts, trailer parking and corrals.
Located 26 miles north of Jamestown along the east side of the James River in the Arrowwood National Wildlife Refuge, this leg of the National Recreation Trail features trailer parking, hitch posts, fire ring/grill, picnic area, restrooms, and a boat launch. This trail is part of a longer historic trail that connects the former military posts of Fort Seward near Jamestown, ND and Fort Totten on the south shores of Devil’s Lake. The trail provides quality opportunities for wildlife observation and photography. This trail is 9 miles in length and can accommodate hiking, biking, and horseback adventurers.
