The Riverboat Cruise In North Dakota You Never Knew Existed
The Missouri River is one of the most influential rivers in North Dakota. It weaves through the prairie and has many cities, including our state capital, on its banks. The river is a popular place to fish, boat, and swim, but did you know you can also take a historic riverboat ride on it? Whether it be a relaxing dinner cruise or a fun float down the river in the morning or afternoon, this is something you don’t want to miss.
These are the sort of sights you'll be able to see on North Dakota's amazing Lewis & Clark Riverboat Cruise. From early morning brunch trips to sunset excursions at the end of the day, it is well worth stopping by no matter the time.
There are plenty of options for cruises. Each day there are public cruises at different times and you can also rent out the riverboat for private parties. Some people even have their weddings on there! How cool is that?
Usually a meal is served or snacks can be purchased while you take the pleasant trip. You can eat out on the top deck and get a panoramic view of the gorgeous natural scenery and parts of Bismarck and Mandan.
Sunset cruises are probably the best if you like taking photos. The colorful prairie sky, the reflective waters of the river, and the delightful way to view them makes it so worth it.
The Lewis & Clark Riverboat can be found at 1700 River Road, Bismarck, ND 58503. To make reservations and check the full schedule and information about the cruises, click here.
