North Dakota tourism is being promoted as one of the core industry's for the future in the strategic plans of the state government.
Although the state is one of the least populous, least visited and most remote, it has some unique landscape and history to attract the visitor.
Outdoor enthusiasts will be tempted by the mountain biking and the winter sports of cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The hunting and fishing in North Dakota are also excellent.
The system of state and national parks within North Dakota offer a variety of scenery, from the Badlands in the southwest corner of the state to the expanses of water of Lake Sakakawea and Devils Lake. ND-Direct has put some individual pages together on the following parks:
Image galleries of some of the state and national parks are also available:
Those more interested in looking into the past will be drawn to the locations of the former frontier forts - many of them now restored - and to the history of Lewis and Clark as they made their way across America.
And anyone just looking for a good time will not want to miss the local festivals where different heritages are celebrated in their communities. Details of the main local festivals are available on the tourism pages of the towns listed below.
