You’re never too young or too old for a stroll outdoors. It does the body good to talk a walk along some nature, even in the most dense of urban areas. North Dakotans aren’t usually very far from some fresh air and natural settings, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take advantage of some lovely trails in the city. This riverside trail might be just what the doctor ordered and now that it’s truly getting into spring weather, you’ll want to visit as soon as possible.

The Magic City of Minot, North Dakota has a plethora of things to do and see. Whether you want to eat, shop, or go outside and play, there is a bit of everything.
