1. Missouri River
I mean, duh. Obviously, you can’t go wrong with spending some time on the Missouri rive.
Kayaking, pontoon-ing (is that a word?), riding on the Lewis and Clark Riverboat, soaking up the sun on the sandbars, etc. It’s a great spot to go.
2. Devils Lake
According to onlyinyourstate.com, Devils Lake is the largest natural lake in North Dakota.
You can pretty much do it all there: jet skiing, fishing, or whatever else your heart desires.

6. McDowell Dam
If you’re looking for a place close to the Bismarck-Mandan area and aren’t really up for the river, you can always go to McDowell Dam. Kayak, paddle boats, or just wade in the water there.
