From beginner to advanced, North Dakota’s state parks offer a variety of great fishing opportunities at some of the most scenic places in our state. You can try your hand at fly-fishing for trout or jig for walleyes. In the winter, most parks offer great access to ice fishing along with cozy, year-round accommodations. For more information on fishing in North Dakota (including rules and regulations) please, see the North Dakota Game and Fish website.
