Spring is upon us here in North Dakota (and it finally seems for sure this time), so be on the lookout for new plant life budding and blooming across the prairie. One great way to experience these spring flowers is by visiting one of the state’s most beautiful wildlife refuges and taking their wildflower walk. You’ll be hiking through gorgeous fields of color, and you don’t want to miss it before it’s gone until next year.
As the prairies of North Dakota come back to life with lush native grasses and the small sprouts of wildflowers, you can take full advantage of these sights at the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge.
There is the Munch's Coulee National Recreation Hiking Trail within the refuge that will take you along these stunning views of the water and the splashes of bright color the spring flowers bring.
You'll definitely want to discover the beauty of this refuge and the colors of spring and early summer by taking this hike. Plus, the Des Lacs Lakes are truly gorgeous year round. What's not to love?
The Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge is located one mile west of Kenmare, North Dakota on Ward County Road 1. Click here for more information on how to visit the refuge and other fun things you can do and see there.
