Little Missouri State Park

“Mako Shika” or “where the land breaks” as it is known by the Sioux, describes the area home to Little Missouri State Park in North Dakota’s Little Missouri Breaks Country. The park features 5,479 acres located 17 miles north of Killdeer, ND. The mystically garish badlands scenes can be observed here and most of this untamed park is only accessible to travelers on foot or horseback. There are electrical hook ups for campers and RVs, but all other camping accommodations are primitive. With thirty miles of trails to explore, this is a great vacation spot for avid backpackers or horseback riding enthusiasts. Corrals are available for those who wish to bring their own horses and the park is supplied with artesian wells for horse watering. Horses can also be rented and guide services are offered as well. Little Missouri State Park is a perfect vacation spot for the entire family near to the Killdeer Mountains, Little Missouri River, and Lake Sakakawea (a.k.a. Sakajawea).
