5 Things to see and do at Fort Ransom State Park

The Sunne Farm at Fort Ransom State Park is a tribute to the homesteading days in North Dakota. It hosts Sodbusters Days twice every year, in the spring and fall. 

Enjoy a relaxing day on the Sheyenne River. No need to worry about lugging your own canoe or kayak, as they are available at the park headquarters. 

Many of the trails in the park lead through forested areas and open meadows that are home to a variety of wildlife and birds. It's common to come upon deer in the park.

Fort Ransom State Park is accessible via the Sheyenne River Valley National Scenic Byway. The route leads through tree-lined rolling hills, which are unique to the Red River Valley.

The 950-acre park offers camping in a luxurious yurt, with running water, electricty and full kitchen. If "roughing it" is more your style, the campground has electric hook-ups, showers and a dump station. It also has 10 non-electric and 12 electric group campsites at two horse areas.
