Just west of New Town, in Mountrail County, Crow Flies High Scenic Overlook is a butte located in Crow Flies High State Recreation Area. It provides the same views Lewis and Clark saw on their epic expedition. Four Bears Bridge is also visible from the butte, although the original bridge is underwater now. Here, older children will bear witness to what was once fertile land that was taken over by the US Government to make Lake Sakekawa, named after an Indian chief from the Hidatsa tribe. Crow Flies High offers a sightline to where the town of Sanish now sits beneath the reservoir.
