Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located in the heart of the North Dakota prairie, the historic town of Jamestown offers outdoor enthusiasts a great choice of summer and winter activities. Before you take on the great outdoors you can spend a few hours learning the history of the town on the Jamestown Talking Trail – a cellphone-guided walk through the most prominent historic sites in the city, including the National Buffalo Museum, Frontier Village, and the St. James Basilica.

Outdoor activities you can try include fishing (21 stocked dams in the area), hiking and biking along a variety of trails for all fitness levels, birding and wildlife watching, swimming, and horseback riding in summer. In winter the fun continues with cross-country skiing, sledding, skating, and snowmobiling.
