Many things signal to us that spring is coming in North Dakota. The leaves start to grow on the trees, the grass starts to turn green, and we start to see more bugs.

Another sure sign that spring in North Dakota is almost here is the reopening of boat ramps.

We have several boat ramps in and around Bismarck-Mandan. In Bismarck, we have the following:

New Boat Ramp in Mandan

You are probably familiar with all of the above-listed boat ramps, but did you know that Mandan just got another new one?

Mandan Parks and Rec announced on Facebook that a new boat ramp is now open in Mandan, and people are excited about the addition.

According to MandanParks.com, Car Bodies Boat Ramp is located along the Missouri River Area, at 1500 River Dr. NE.

This 36' boat ramp area once looked like this. Now, it is paved and officially open to the public.

Now We Wait

We are excited to see this project done; now, we can't wait to see all the other boat ramps open for the season. --We're ready for some river days. The countdown is definitely on!
