Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Indian Hills State Recreation Area and Resort adventure.
Discover the natural charm of Indian Hills State Recreation Area.
Indian Hills State Recreation Area and Resort, located 30 miles west of Garrison and 30 miles south of Parshall, is a special place. Not only because of its scenic location on Lake Sakakawea, but because of it’s management—it’s operated by a private leasee, and is a unique business venture between a family, the state, and other groups. Visitors can camp, stay in modern and primitive cabins, and enjoy their boats on the lake thanks to the full-service marina. The best part? The feeling of peace that you’ll get being here. Consider strolling along the Nux Baa Ga Trail (it means “All the People” in Arikara), and soaking in the views of the lake as you hike, bike, or horseback ride along it’s six lovely miles.
The ideal time to visit Indian Hills State Recreation Area and Resort is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the weather is perfect for outdoor activities. However, it's wise to avoid peak holiday weekends if you prefer a quieter experience. Winter can be harsh, so check local conditions if you're planning an off-season adventure.
