When it comes to catching a muskellunge (muskie) in North Dakota, though, that’s exactly what happens – N.D. Game and Fish Department fishing regulations require anglers to […]

MINOT — Lake Darling hosted some rare visitors this past week, a trio of whooping cranes that apparently had their northern migration rudely interrupted by one of the largest blizzards to ever strike the region.

It’s green grass and early wildflowers as crocuses and other flowers pop seemingly out of nowhere. And it’s fishing. Finally, it’s open water fishing. To Jason Lee, an avid angler and N.D.

You’ll discover it all, and more, at the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I’ve never forgotten my first view of the North Unit. I’m guessing I was about six […]

Northern Celebrations: Maple sugaring North Dakota style

Maple syrup – thick and deliciously oozing true maple syrup – is probably any pancake lover’s true delight. Home-grown, North Dakota maple syrup isn’t a reality because the maple tree species producing maple syrup don’t grow in the state.
