Nestled in the scenic Turtle Mountains, Lake Metigoshe is one of the cleanest natural fresh-water lakes in North Dakota and is noted for its northern pike, walleye and perch. Winter provides opportunities for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, skating, sledding and ice fishing. The snowmobile trails within the park connect with over 300 miles of groomed trails throughout the Turtle Mountains. The rolling hills, aspen forests and small lakes attract nature and photography lovers to the area to capture these sights on film. The Old Oak Trail, a National Recreation Trail, is found within the park boundaries. Modern cabins, group dorms, kitchen and meeting facilities are also available.
