Devils Lake, North Dakota's largest natural lake, is home to three state park and recreation areas in North Dakota.
On the north shore of Lake Sakakawea, this park was named for a late 1800s fort that served as a supply depot for other military posts in the Dakota Territory. A replica of the original fort's guardhouse serves as an interpretive center.
Rich in both early Native American and military history, Ft. Abraham Lincoln's visitor center and historic buildings feature exhibits and programs on the early occupation of the area.
Situated on the north shore of Lake Renwick, camping, boating, swimming and fishing for northern pike and other game fish are popular activities.
On the south shore of Lake Sakakawea adjacent to Garrison Dam, Lake Sakakawea State Park offers a wide range of water-based recreational activities and facilities.
The towering buttes and rolling hills of North Dakota's badlands provide a rugged backdrop to this park, located on one of the upper bays of Lake Sakakawea. Modern boating facilities, including a marina, boat ramp and camp store, are major attractions.
