North Dakota Spot Named One Of Top 30 Must See For Fall Colors

North Dakota isn't necessarily known for its abundant fall colors.

Especially here in central and western North Dakota, where trees are at a premium. The majority of trees in our neck of the woods are along the Missouri River, Lake Oahe, and a few isolated areas around Lake Sakakawea.

Wherever you find water, you will generally find some trees here in the west, but the more abundant fall vegetation is typically viewed up in northern and eastern North Dakota.

If you enjoy the beauty of the fall colors, gold, orange, and red, there's one spot in North Dakota that was recently recognized. 

According to an article on MidwestLiving, a place in North Dakota made the Top 30 in the entire Midwest for the BEST fall color getaways you need to take this year.

You might want to take their advice, as I used to do some hunting for Ruffed Grouse up in this area of the state, and if you hit it right, it can be literally "breathtaking". Crimson, amber, golden, russet, all the colors of fall right here in North Dakota.

North Dakota's chosen spot for "must-see" fall colors is the Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area. 

The article goes on to say this is the perfect spot for hikers and bird watchers alike. It also notes that the Pembina Gorge is North Dakota's largest uninterrupted stretch of oak woods and a blend of boreal and deciduous forest.

Truly a beautiful spot to enjoy the autumn colors in North Dakota with camping nearby.
