Lake Metigoshe State Park

Nestled in the scenic Turtle Mountains, Lake Metigoshe is one of the cleanest natural fresh-water lakes in North Dakota and is noted for its northern pike, walleye and perch. Winter provides opportunities for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, skating, sledding and ice fishing.

The rolling hills, aspen forests and small lakes attract nature and photography lovers to the area to capture these sights on film.
