We’re finally starting to get that glimmer of springtime here in the Peace Garden State, and with it will come new life blooming across the prairie. Wildflowers and other plants will be popping up everywhere and one of the best places to experience one is at Fort Ransom State Park. During the right time of the year, trails in the park will make you feel like you’re taking a walk through a secret garden in a fairytale.
Check out just how beautiful it is and make plans to see it yourself when the time is right:
Take a hike along one of Fort Ransom State Park's trails during the right time in spring or summer and you're sure to be in for a treat.
The park features beautiful wooded areas, creeks, and great views of the Sheyenne River. The trails go over bridges, up hills, and down into the river valley.
What makes this park really worthwhile to visit is the beautiful array of wildflowers that come up each year. The park's trails will take you right alongside flower-filled meadows that feel like something from a fairytale land.
Huge swaths of blue flax in bloom are truly stunning to see. This view is right alongside a nature trail in Fort Ransom State Park and will leave you speechless.
Many other flower varieties come and go throughout the year and you can visit the park multiple times during the best seasons to get the colorful experience.
It doesn't get much prettier than North Dakota's native prairie flowers filling up natural, untouched landscapes that feel like walking through a garden.
