Leah moved to North Dakota when she was 12 years old and has traveled from the Red River Valley to the badlands and many places in between. She loves small-town life and currently enjoys living on a small farm in the ND prairie. She's always had a passion for writing and has participated in novel writing challenges such as NaNoWriMo multiple times. Her favorite part about this job is recognizing small businesses that deserve a boost and seeing the positive affect her articles can have on their traffic, especially in rural areas that might have otherwise gone overlooked.
One of the most influential rivers in North Dakota is also one of the most fun to experience. You’ll want to explore it while summer is still around, and there are many ways to do that. From where it enters at the western border from Montana all the way to south-central ND, there are miles and miles of river to enjoy in all kinds of ways.
The Missouri River isn’t just an outdoor adventurer’s paradise, it’s also an incredible part of history. It was very important to the Plains Indians for hundreds of years and later drove the fur trade north back in the 1800s — with settlers quickly following.
