This year, we're combining the annual three-sisters garden harvest with a guided family-friendly hike! Starting at the Visitor Center and ending at the On-A-Slant Village, the hike will be approximately 3/4ths of a mile in length. Along the hike, a Park Ranger will quiz your knowledge regarding the crops the Mandan tribe grew while they occupied the area.

Get ready for the return of the 2024 Cardio & Coffee Trail Running Series at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park! This one-of-a-kind event will elevate outdoor fitness by adding in the enjoyment and education of the finest specialty roast coffee. We’ve taken a typical morning run and turned it into an energy-driven morning on the most beautiful and legendary trails of Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park.
