1:58 PM LOCAL TIMENestled within North Dakota and managed as a state park and protected prairie, Little Missouri Grassland is a vital fragment of the historic Great Plains. Expect open, windswept plains dominated by native grasses like Big Bluestem and Switchgrass, with seasonal displays of wildflowers and critical habitat for prairie nesting birds. Visitors often come for short hikes, wildlife viewing—from bison Bison bison to prairie-dwelling Pronghorn—and anguished surface water features that demonstrate the ephemeral nature of prairie hydrology. Nearby facilities are limited; plan for gravel roads, and seek updates on visitor access, picnicking, or wildlife guides through North Dakota state resources.
