The votes have been tallied! With so many outstanding lakes in North Dakota, it can be hard to choose a favorite, so we polled our readers on our Only In North Dakota Facebook page. Truth be told, selecting just one photo for each lake, from all those that were shared, did not come easily – many talented photographers in our midst. Did you know that North Dakota has more than 400 lakes and rivers? Challenge accepted to visit 14 of the most beautiful lakes in the Peace Garden State, according to our readers. Let’s experience some lake life, shall we?
The overall fan favorite is Lake Sakakawea, the third largest man-made lake in the country, 75 miles north of Bismarck. Fish for salmon, walleye, and pike. Enjoy a full-service marina and boat launches. Visit Lake Sakakawea State Park, on the south shore, for hiking, camping, and a swim beach.
Another reader favorite is Devils Lake in northeastern North Dakota. Come for hiking, sunsets, and wildlife. Visit Grahams Island State Park. It is a good fishing spot, called the “perch capital of the world” – and it is home to walleye, northern pike, and bass, too.
