The trolley begins at a station and heads off into the beauties of the Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park along the Heart River.
You can see the wild grasses and plants, and maybe even some animals, from the openness of the trolley itself. It's relaxing, enjoyable, and a great way to experience the park.
Once you’ve had a chance to explore the sites and learn about them, you can take the tractor-drawn visitor transport back to end off an amazing day trip. It’s a perfect experience for the sights, history, and the joy of being able to ride an old-fashioned trolley! You won’t find another one in North Dakota, so take advantage of this!
The park and trolley are located off of Highway 1806 about 7 miles south of Mandan, ND. For more information, click here.
