Little Missouri National Grassland

Little Missouri National Grassland spans over 800,000 acres across North Dakota, offering a vast landscape of mixed-grass prairie managed by the Forest Service for multiple uses. The grassland supports a mix of recreation and resource activities, with opportunities for dispersed camping, fishing in seasonal water features, and hunting during appropriate seasons. Scenic driving through the open terrain provides access to the landscape, while trails invite exploration on foot. Visitors should expect a remote, wind-exposed environment with limited developed facilities—this is working public land, not a manicured recreation area. Summer and early fall offer the most comfortable conditions, though the grassland remains accessible during shoulder seasons. Winter conditions can be severe and travel may be difficult.
