Lake Sakakawea State Park

Enjoy your time on North Dakota's largest lake.

Lake Sakakawea is the ultimate watersports and outdoor recreation area in North Dakota. With over 150 miles of water, you'll be able to spend days on this lake without getting bored. The marina has boat ramps to give you access to the pristine lake. Fishing is a common activity on the lake, and there is a fish cleaning facility on-site for your convenience. Common fish that live in the lake include chinook salmon, northern pike, and walleye. This state park is an ideal place for large gatherings and has pavilions available for rent. Along with watersports, visitors can enjoy spending time playing beach volleyball, horseshoes, and wildlife observation.

Avid hikers and mountain bikers can explore the various trails nearby during their visit.

Pets are welcome to the park as long as they remain on a leash. Come and make some memories together at Lake Sakakawea State Park with family and friends.
