Lewis and Clark State Park is situated on one of the upper bays of Lake Sakakawea. The park features miles of shoreline with picturesque views of towering buttes and rolling hills that provide a rugged backdrop for the park.

Modern boating facilities, including a marina with slip rentals and boat ramps, are major attractions. Anglers will find excellent fishing for walleye, sauger and northern pike.

Lewis and Clark State Park is home to the largest native mixed-grass prairie of any North Dakota State Park. Visitors can become acquainted with the natural communities associated with the park by hiking a self-guided nature trail.

Visitors can also enjoy the swimming area and a day-use beach located along the east shore of the campground near the camping cabins. Kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddle boards, and snowshoes are available for rent.
